RIP My Computer, 2008-2013
-
So, we go off on a quick anniversary drive down to San Diego, and I think, hey, a weekend without the computer, but, you know, just in case, I'll bring it along. And so, on Sunday morning, in a hotel room in the Gaslamp, I thought I'd take a couple of minutes to check email and some posts for here and Nerdist, and I pop the thing open and press the power button... and nothing. The battery's good, there's power, but it won't turn on. So it was off to the Genius Bar at the Fashion Valley store, where they said it was the logic board and it would cost more to fix than the thing was worth. "Was," past tense, because that sealed it. And because Apple will be refreshing the laptop line on Tuesday, it made no sense to spend a couple of grand (OW OW OW OW OW) now when the same price will get me a newer model within the week. Why should you care? You shouldn't, except that it means my ability to post here will be slowed down somewhat. Oh, I'll still post, via the iPad and, when she's not using it, my wife's computer. But until I get everything set up on the new computer, it'll be a slower process. Thank you for bearing with me...
