My 4 year old Mac has finally reached a point of no return I think. A couple months ago a computer tech told me it had a "fatal error" and would eventually die, but it didn't happen until yesterday. My husband says its the motherboard (I say mother effing board) and I am looking in to repairing it, but it may be futile. Luckily I had been doing back ups to an external hard drive - hopefully it was successful.
So for now I am on a borrowed lap top and the screen sure looks small!
 ??? Computers!

I'm working on it Paris along with buying that chocolate factory, but the mega millions lotto gods have not given me the right numbers yet. :(

Of course, I buy okarol one, I'll have to get one for myself. I think they have a 20" Mac Book Pro I'd like.
