My computer has failed me once again. It's the adaptor this time; it'll be the third one I've been forced to replace and I'm really not pleased about it. I counted the number of parts I've had to replace since getting this laptop a couple years ago. In two and a half years time I've gone through three adaptors, three motherboards, two hard drives, and two batteries. It's basically a franken-laptop at this point...merely a refurbished shadow of its former self. I've never been so disappointed with a product in my entire life--and I'm including the defective BabyTalk doll I got for Christmas in 1987 in this list.
I'm still catching up on moving expenses, so I'm not really in a place to buy the computer that I really want (and no, it is most definitely not a Dell) so I'm evaluating my options. I'm getting another adaptor, of course, because I need a computer as soon as possible, but I think that I might also invest in a used Mac Mini. I found a few on craigslist and am kind of excited about the prospect. I don't know... It's incredibly frustrating not having a working computer at home. Even when it comes to writing--there's so much that I want to put down but it seems that I have much more fluidity with pixels than with ink...
And, to answer the obvious question, I'm blogging from my phone. This Treo being the brilliant little gadget that has made the past computer-less week tolerable.

glad to see you.
Oh no!
Well at least you can fall back on the ability to write a lengthy post (relatively speaking) on a Treo. I've never written more than a short paragraph on mine.
I think my Treo misses yours, by the way.
definetly go Mac. you'll never go back.
I agree. Just got a new mac laptop and it was worth every penny ;)
You know, the offer still stands on the DOE Imac-- i just have to be able to get it back one day, and we have to figure out how to get it to you (perhaps I can persuade my spook to take another trip to Manhattan)...
My dear, I would LOVE the DOE iMac! And I would definitely be able to give it back to you whenever you needed it. Actually, Sara aka Fiorella is planning to come up the second weekend in Oct because I'm throwing a brunch party. Perhaps you can come up that weekend too! Bring the spook!
(I'm now going to e-mail you all this because this is a way to indirect means of communication...)
