Apple Happy

Sunday, Nov. 22, 2009 - 12:00 a.m.

I got back from Sacramento on Friday night, on the bus.

Before I got on the bus, I said goodbye to Dan, and as I was doing so, I stepped backwards and tripped on a tree root sticking out of the ground by the tree in front of the Greyhound Station.

When I went down, I went down spectacularly, and dropped my computer case.

After Dan helped me up and dusted me off and saw me off and I got home, I discovered that the modem in my laptop was dead.

So on Saturday, John and I took the computer to the Mac store in Berkeley.

These guys are amazing. They've always been very patient with my bouts of ineptitude.

The modem was indeed dead, but I was given a choice of having them keep the computer until Monday or getting a USB modem and heading home with the computer that same day.

One USB modem later, here I sit.

I'm having no problems with just having the dormant modem here in the computer.

---

I'm in my twentieth year of ownership of an Apple computer of some kind or another.

The boss of the Mac store hasn't even been Apple-ing for as long.

But that doesn't make me competent.

Loyal, yes. Competent, heh.

---

And I have a Dan Hand bruise on my left arm where he tried to keep me from hitting the ground too hard.

The end. Happy Sunday.
