My Dead Mac...
Yup, it died... what to do with a dead iMac? It's a few years old, white and plastic, but with a big beautiful 24" screen (not glossy!!!) and a giant hard drive. I took it to my local repair shop, Charlotte Street Computers (no Apple Store in my town, but they are Apple Certified), after a $60 diagnosis they came back saying it's a "board problem", and boards aren't fixed, they are replaced. It's going to be $700 all said and done, at least as expensive as buying the same working machine off of ebay... what to do. I wouldn't mind a new 27", but can't quite afford the bucks at this point. Perhaps a $100 Print Sale Fund Raiser? Gonna sleep on it... and borrow machines in the mean time. ug.
UPDATE: Fixed... waiting to purchase the new "anti-glare" model iMac... will I wait forever?

Wow, that's bad! :-/ I am wondering an iMac, and would be very upset if it brokes. My lamentation.
I discovered your blog yesterday and i am very admired with your work! Congratulations.
Ohh those bastards. I have a love hate relationship with macs as well. Here's my art.

It's funny we both made graphics to cope.
