Mac went on the blink again. However, this time, i did all i need to do before it went into a "coma". So, fingers crossed, i'll find a logic board soon.

"Alive! It's Alive!!!"

My PowerBook G4 DVI came back to life after 4 months of going in and coming out of 'coma'. At the end of last month i decided that it needed professional help.

In comes Switch@TheSpring (or CGComputers) and they even sent it to Penang at a cost of nothing. They love their Macs there.
It's a logic board problem and there is a problem finding a replacement. So, my Mac is on the 'transplant' waiting list. Meantime, i shouldn't use it in high temps and have to handle it with gentle, tender, loving care.

So far, i've had it on for an hour and it is still running. So, fingers crossed and we'll see.

Meanwhile, Linda's Macbook and my Touch will be arriving soon! Yay! I'm seriously thinking of getting an Apple Time Capsule. Just the thought of having 1TB is scary so, i'll settle for the 500GB model. Imagine the ability to automatically backup your ENTIRE computer memory and done automatically.... No more, "Oh Crap!!! ARRGH! What do you mean I've lost my entire teaching folder since 2000????"

Hmm... sounds real good.
