[Editor’s Note: Talk about technology crapping out. It wasn’t until I went to post the note about the Banter being posted that I realized this was NEVER posted on Sunday!
I finally found it — posted on March 23.
Can I just tear the rest of my hair out now?
Then again, I have been so absorbed with techo issues for four days straight that until someone called me last night, I had forgotten the NCAA finals were on television.
I know. It’s sad. Very sad. 😉
But there’s hope. I’m off to get my new logic board!]
How many of you have ever found yourself in a position where some form of technology failed you? A piece of software….a computer…. A gadget of some sort?
If you’ve ever been in that situation you’ll understand when I ask the question,”Why is it that they always decide to quit, break, or stop working just when you need to use it the most?”
It’s Sunday and as usual I should be wrapping up this week’s issue of PlaneBusiness Banter. One problem. My laptop’s display unit died last night. No see. No write. No nothing.
The good part? The friendly folks at the Apple Genius Bar were able to determine the problem this morning. Even better, Apple is picking up the tab to fix it.
The bad part? I was told to come home and clone my hard drive and bring the computer back in … TOMORROW. And the new display unit won’t be in stock until TUESDAY.
So here I sit with external drives daisy chained and two laptops chugging away ( had to use target disk mode to boot up the MacBook Pro because… Well…..there is no display!)
Meanwhile I sit and twiddle my thumbs and contemplate what kind of happy pills Apple must give those guys who work the Genius Bars. I don’t see how they do it. And how I’m going to try and get an issue written.
And….how am I going to get all this done and be back to the Swamp to take my Dad for eye surgery at 6 a.m on Tuesday?
As the guy at the Apple Store said…”There are always Margaritas.”
