Gig of RAM

Early last Monday morning, very late in November, electrical thunderstorms moved through. The power went out so briefly that not all our clocks reset to 12:00. Two computers went down. One powered up slowly. The other requires a PAV board. Power & Video.

Fortunately most of the critical data had been recently backed up. Among other things, I was able to continue my work on the square dance club newsletter. I’d have been quicker about the repair/replacement except the car had been getting quite rachety. We held off on the unnecessary driving while waiting for a water pump.

Amazing what five year old iMacs are going for on eBay and how many of them a person could buy for the price of a Apple branded PAV board.

So, I am replacing that cpu with a PowerBook thanks to homeowners insurance. This afternoon, along with placing the order for the laptop, I ordered an additional gig of RAM.

It’s been an interesting week. Old computer diagnosed and RIP'd. New computer’s ordered. Water pump is pumping. Club newsletter is written and printed. Time for some shiny shoes and dancing with the missus. It's Christmas Party night.


A gig of RAM. Dear God, that's hot.
