My computer is broken

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!

Cry

I can't use my computer. The power socket is broken and the battery has lost all its juice. I still have an extra battery but that means that I'll have nothing to fire it up even if I take it to the repair shop.

Cry

Having my computer broken is truly a sign of how much of a MacFag I am. We have several computers here at home and I'm typing this on a Dell.

Cry

I hate Dells.

Cry

I hate how heavy the keyboard feels when I type.

Yet it's not just the typing. I've had my PowerBook for 2 1/2 years and I've set up everything in a way that allows me to move smoothly from one task to another. I have all these widgets and tools that ....

Cry

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!

Cry

I can't use now.

And I can't even think how much it's going to cost me to have it repaired.

Cry

I hate this feeling.

Scream

I am really lost without my computer.

I have finally embraced my inner geek.

Kiss

UPDATE! Help me get Linus to the (Mac) hospital.

Words to live by

... tonight it's my privilege to celebrate this president. We're not so different, he and I. We get it. We're not brainiacs on the nerd patrol. We're not members of the factinista. We go straight from the gut, right sir? That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. I know some of you are going to say "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book.

Next time, look it up in your gut. I did. My gut tells me that's how our nervous system works. Every night on my show, the Colbert Report, I speak straight from the gut, OK? I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational argument. I call it the "No Fact Zone."

Fox News ... I hold a copyright on that term.
