MACBOOKAIR: Ready for the shop tomorrow

Sunday, December 5, 2010

Well, at least, I think I am.

Have alternate platform that will allow me to do email and Jasper Jottings, CHECK!

Have complete backup of McBa, CHECK!

Have complete data backups at CARBONITE, CHECK!

Have documents backed up at DROPBOX, CHECK!

OK!

Monday, if all goes well with Frau Reinke at the lab, then I’m off to the Apple Store: (1) missing sound; suspect hardware; (2) failure to sync; suspect OSX os; (3) intermittent slowdowns; suspect OSX networking.

Best outcome: all three fixed

Worst outcome: completely wiped “repaired” machine.

Somewhere in the middle: a permanent replacement “new but old model” mcba machine or one of the new macbookairs.

I should have keep a book on how much time and effort this has cost me.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Uncle Sam, the aging athlete

Why are we still in Korea?

Pat Buchanan

*** begin quote ***

From 1941 to 1989, she played a great heroic role as defender of freedom, sacrificing and serving mankind, a role of which we can be forever proud. But having won that epochal struggle against the evil empire, we found ourselves in a world for which we were unprepared. Now, like an aging athlete, we keep trying to relive the glory days when all the world looked with awe upon us.

We can’t let go, because we don’t know what else to do. We live in yesterday – and our rivals look to tomorrow.

*** end quote ***

Why are we still in Germany and a slew of other strange places?

Why are American girls and boys dying in the Sandbox, the Rockbox, and a slew of other places?

Why are American politicians immune from “We, The Sheeple”?

Peace. Now!

If women ever decide that they want a peaceful world, they can have it. In minutes! (OK, maybe not minutes. But so quick, it’ll seem like minutes.)

“Yes, when we get out of here. We’re going to have to fix that. You know we control something that can get it done. Not the ballot box, but the other box. (A giant sucking sound as pure Miss Marie used that very rude idiom.) We can end war.” — character “Marie” being anti-war in CHURCH 10●19●62 Volume 1 Page 262
