NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO …but yes… but NOOOOOO!
According to the Apple Hardware test, the video RAM on my PowerBook is broken. Unfortunately, that business is soldered onto the motherboard, so I would need the whole shebang replaced …and that stuff costs major body parts.
This is about the time my hopes of getting a new laptop becomes a real necessity.
That pretty much means the PowerBook is destined for intrepid hackers on eBay (I’d intrepidly hack it myself if I weren’t leaving the country come summer). You know, I always thought people were being overly sentimental when they get attached to computers as if they were pets… but now that mine is knocking on the gates of the Great eBay in the Sky, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sad to see my faithful little computer go. I would’ve liked to have kept it around for years to come, but it looks like that won’t be the case.
Sadly, if I’d gotten Apple Care, I would’ve been on the tail end of the coverage right now, so this would’ve been a free fix. Duly noted for the next lappy purchase.
