R.I.P.
My HP Laptop
2002-2006
That’s right. He is officially deceased. Hard drive is safe. The power board went out, according to Shane, who spent his morning disecting it piece by piece. A new powerboard? A whopping $1000.
So - the positive is I have less to pack for Scotland. The negative? The fact I can’t design, write, or do any of Mosaic Edinburgh’s communication while we are in Scotland.
I am just going to have faith that Steve Jobs or one of his croneys, (heck, I’d even settle for Bill Gates this time, although it was his computer that is causing this mess…) will read my blog, and send me a new MacBook. Or at least let me borrow one for September.
Prayers, greatly appreciated. And I know it’s lame to ask you to repost this, when there are so many other crisises going on in the world, but if you wouldn’t mind reposting this, well, you just never know.

On the bright side, a safe hard drive is something to be thankful for! If you can get your old files off there you can transfer them to a shiny new MacBook and be sitting pretty.
