computer is pooped

The screen on my laptop went all Dark & Mysterious tonight, so I'm on The Fernando's desktop. I can juuust make out the screen, so I'm updating my backup (it's just a week out of date, new music mostly), and tomorrow Fernando will take it to the Apple store--to the "genius bar" which I didn't even know existed till a friend told me. I did the usual troubleshooting attempts, but decided not to waste my whole night over it. It's nice to have an Apple store right near us now, and turns out they're open til 9 each weekday! Oooh. I wasn't crazy about the dealer we used to go to. At least at the bar they'll do a little troubleshooting first.

From googling it appears this may be a known issue by the manufacturer of this video piece, which they may or may not charge me for.

Anyway. My email responding will likely be a little spotty this week, so you've been warned.

My days this keyboard is stiff! It's always strange switching keyboards when you use your computer a lot.

Gonna check a few emails, post to my other blog, and then--as Bertie would say--retire to bed with an improving book.

Where would I be without you?
