Back it Up, Yo!
Dear Slick, my PowerBook G4 13″ Laptop:
I know you have been used and abused. I know that your body is bruised and somewhat irreversibly damaged from slave labor, butter-fingers, a hostile work environment, and toddler obsession. I know that you have given me 4 years of love, honor, and respect. You have gotten me through 2.5 years of tedious grad school study, educational PowerPoints, and even fights with the hubby. You have made me feel useful, what with your needing me to turn you on and off, wake you up from your much earned cat naps, and keep you free from viruses and even trojan warfare.
Sometimes, when I get really stressed out from the daily grind, I imagine that we have run away together to the land of Memory and Power Unlimited. I dream that I can actually use you without the power cord that we have both come to rely on so dear. And then, in my reality, I create reasons to touch you, just so that you know you are not alone. I know that you will continue to run for me even when you are desperately in need of rest, and that makes me feel so warm inside.
And because of all that you have given me, I must offer you my deepest apologies. You need an external hard drive. You are in overload and every day you beg me for relief, but I have been unable to listen. I promise that I will help you out as soon as I repair all of the holes in my pockets.
Your loving and loyal partner,
Kristina Brooke
Oh me….this is so funny. I have a Powerbook G4. A couple of months ago it lost connection with my old wireless airport. I was lost for 3 months without it. This past Christmas I did buy a new MAC but not a notebook. The rest of the family seems to have taken it over. They all gave up on the PowerBook G4. Not me. I am still hanging in here with it. I was even thinking about clearing it all out with the software that came with it, but I am not sure if it will function after that. I don’t want to give it up in the meantime.
Anyway, i wanted to share with you that I have the same concern for mine.
Tammys last blog post..Waiting until mid July was not a good idea
