My laptop died this morning and I am still in mourning. (Do you like what I did there? I do enjoy a bit of homophony of an evening!) Anyway, it's all very sad. A memorial service will be held in due course. Family flowers only. Donations to the 'Sinead still needs to eat, despite having to buy a new laptop' fund.
The 'silver lining' in this scenario is that I am now the rather bemused owner of a brand spanking new MacBook Pro, or as I'm finding so far, a MehBook. I'm sure that once I get used to its little foibles, get some software installed (that's proving to be unreasonably tricky, grrr!), figure out how to type euro-symbols and put fadas on my e, and generally get to grips with it I will become a convert to the mainstream cult of the Apple. Until then, I still say 'Meh!'
Welcome to the cult. You can bug me for tips.
