Computerless

I am now officially computerless.  I have sent my Macbook Pro off to Apple for repairs on the logic board for CPU whine problems (references here, here, and here).  Even though I send my computer overnight and they overnight it back to me, the Apple representative told me it could take up to seven days to get it back.

This, of course, presents problems since part of my income is dependent on me being in front of my computer for a little while every day.  For now, I have my desktop downstairs still (in my little brother's room), and my phone which will allow me to keep up on emails and the like as well as post to my blog.

So I should be okay on the computer front.  The other battle is what am I going to do with my life?  I'll be unplugged for up to seven days.  It's like fasting, but worse.  I need my daily information fix!  I need to feel connected to the world.

There is another laptop floating around.  Currently it is in possession of my ex-girlfriend who has offered to give it back to me but has yet to produce it.  It's pretty crappy but could certainly tide me over.

We shall see.  I will keep you posted on what life is like without a computer.  It's almost as if I lived in the late 1800's or something.
