Black Sunday

To explain my absence on the blogger scene (and also face book I suppose, though I almost never use face book anyway) I dropped my computer last Sunday just after I had printed out my message for the day. Now the screen no longer works, the reason I know that is because I can just barely see the screen if I lean in real close and kinda squint my eyes and the regular applications seem to work fine. There is one certified Mac technician in all of GP and he is very busy so I have not heard back how much it is going to cost but first estimates are not good. The lady at Mac Care said a new screen for my model is around $1500. I feel absolutely horrible not just because it has come to be very important to me (not having it I feel as though both my thumbs have been sliced off) but because it is in actuality the Churches computer and so I am costing the church plant that is already on a tight budget a considerable repair bill. A few people have suggested I just hook up the computer to a regular screen which I may have to settle for if the repair cost is too great. But even then I will have to find a screen that can hook up with a UPC port or buy an adapter to make an older screen fit. Also I am now forced to consider moving back to PC. Even though I love Mac and they really are vastly superior to PC in almost every way, they are still very costly and I am having issues with archaic software that simply refuses to become Mac compatible. It is times like these that I consider reverting to the sport I perfected in school of computer-tossing-out-a-second-story-window. Anyway kids take it easy.
