Limping
My good old eMac hit the wall last night.
It did a spasm of email flashes--odd emails popping up to the whole screen.
I tried to escape. No luck.
I tried to shut down. No luck. It said the email wouldn't let me do it.
Then I just turned off the power and got no where when I turned it back on.
A sign flashed that my repair guy called the kernel panic. A good name.
He is coming to see it this afternoon.
In the meantime, I am at my laptop which I haven't used in a very long time. Little keyboard.
I had to re-enter a lot of codes and shit.
Clawing my way into use.
I am ready to bite the bullet and get the new Mac if I have to.
He thinks he can get the eMac resuscitated but then I would always be fretting about whether it would drop out again. Soon.
I mean we all will drop out sometime.
In the meantime, I am grateful to be at work on the laptop. He and I are old friends. Even if he is a little stingy with the touch typing space. My muscle memory is good on the touch typing but I am a little shaky on my scratch pad work.
