So with Flower Power out of commission, I’m working on FrankenMac. FrankenMac is cobbled together from used spare parts and has no case, which means if I ever have to power FrankenMac off or on, I will need to shove a plastic pen up into the metal side to engage the “button”. (Husband was very clear that it must be a PLASTIC pen. Nothing metal. No metal, you heard that part, right, wife? You weren’t thinking about your story? Plastic.)
I heard. Plastic. I got it. Actually I’m hoping I never need to shove anything into FrankenMac, but if I ever do, it will be plastic.
Before you start feeling sorry for me, FrankenMac has far more processor power and RAM then Flower Power did, so it’s a screaming machine. Bigger screen, which is pretty neat. I don’t want to admit how much time was wasted watching video trailers which Flower Power was incapable of running. (BTW, the one for Tristan and Isolde is gorgeous. With great music.)
FrankenMac also has the newest Apple OS, which means I now have a dashboard with widgets. Husband has been trying to lure me into switching by telling me how cool widgets are. If he’d told me I could have a speaking Yoda widget and a solitaire widget, I wouldn’t have put up so much resistance. (I love hearing Yoda said “fear leads to the dark side”.) Widgets are cool. Widgets are worth upgrading for. So are cool movie trailers.
FrankenMac and I are going to get along okay. Although I still don’t want to shove anything in there and hope I never have to.
Comments gremlin: the newly upgraded WordPress is working fine except for the tiny fact that when people leave new comments, it doesn’t say so. The comments are there (including the amazing fun smileys; I love the aien head smiley) so feel free to comment away. They just don’t show up in the count. The very smart husband will figure that out later on today, I’m sure. Meanwhile, if it says No Comments and you just commented, don’t worry. It’s there.
