WTF??

My iMac died this week. Bummer. It needs a new power supply, so I guess a trip to Marianas Electronics is in order.
This is the second time I’ve had to bring that machine in for servicing. There was a factory recall back in 2005 on that model, and now this.
Actually on second thought, maybe I will just buy the power supply and replace it myself. Not exactly rocket science, and I have built and repaired a number of other computers, Macs included. I am still particularly proud of how I brought my G3 back to life in 2002. Bought new motherboard and ROM chips off eBay, a new power supply, housing and more RAM and my venerable machine was chugging along like new.

My Aunt Rosemary passed away on Monday night, at the venerable age of 90. She was only a week from her 91st birthday when she passed. She’d been doing poorly for the last couple months, with a bout of pneumonia followed by some other medical problems and a hospital stay last month.
She was a wonderful, sweet woman. And I mean that literally; I’ve never known anyone so addicted to candy as Aunt Rosemary. How she could eat all those peeps is beyond me. She made delicious cookies for her husband, Uncle Charlie, that I used to eat when I stayed over at their place in St. Louis Hills. Those were happy memories of my childhood.
I love you Aunt Rosemary, take care and rest in peace.
