The recent death of Eric's iBook G3 800mhz is announced. Last
Wednesday, it was rushed to a local Mac guy who pronounced that the
logic board was failing or had already failed. It was the 3rd
installed on the computer. The bill to fix it was more than was
currently in the bank account of her owner and long time friend,
Eric. Desperate attempts were made to save data and to stave off the
final blows of death. But to no effect. Apple themselves were
unresponsive, claiming that "since the computer was over 3 years old
it had reached the end of its life and was not worthy of repair, but
I can give you 50 bucks off a new mac." She is survived by a iPod
shuffle, a 5G iPod and a 160 gig external hard drive. Funeral
services will be arranged as soon as the Dr. Frankinstein style
attempts of resurrection are mede from a verity or sources from ebay
to ifixit.com. As soon as the funds become available.
A new MacBook has been delivered by the UPS man this morning making
this email possible.
