Here is a stock picture of my brand new MacBook I bought today. Of course I have that buzz that one gets when a new gizmo is unfurled and the new MacBook is beautiful and lightening fast. But I am pretty disturbed that my iBook G4 logic board failed for a second time in less than 4 years. Replacement would have been nearly $600 dollars. After doing some research the G4 had a systemic problem with logic board failures on both the G3 and G4 laptops. Really disappointing. So now I need to figure out how to get all the information, music, pictures and emails ect....off the old hard drive onto my new machine. Any MAC geeks out there I'm all ears. Lets keep in mind that laptops are machines and machines fail. Really that simple.
So I wanted to encourage the blog readers to keep reading as my life evolves. The tone is changing as I shift from cruising into shoreside activities. Should be fun though as I plan on doing some traveling coming up. Some have inquired as to what my plans are. Very very loosely here is what I have on tap. Early May will see me at my folks place in Florida. Then I hope to be in NYC and CT to visit more family in mid and late May. Then maybe back up to Newport RI and then onto the Berkshires to visit other friends. Then head west to California for the bulk of June. Still working on all the details and really may not have anything ironed out until I arrive on someones doorstep asking if I can sleep on a couch. I'm also searching for someone to loan me a car while I'm in California. Tall order I know! That is the latest from my side of the world.
