Kiss me on the Bus

I think my trusty ol' iMac has given up the ghost. I bought it refurbished in 2008, so I can't complain about the longevity, but it still stings. Its eventual replacement will probably be a refurbed unit, too. It seems a good investment.

Following the escalation matches a couple of weeks ago, I got in a couple of full-strength X-Wing Second Edition matches Friday night. I love the game again - maneuvering and placement over card combos and token stacking. The game's title ship is a premier dogfighter again, and the TIE Interceptor is its opposite number again.

It's September. Already, three MLB teams have been eliminated from playoff contention, and the minor leagues are into their championship runs. Not the Bats, though, finishing with a losing record for the nth year in a row. The Dodgers are currently tied with Arizona for first place in the NL West, and as I write this, they're down 2-1 in the 9th against the Diamondbacks.

I have been astonished at the durability of all my Apple machines compared to the predictable three-year useful lifespan of most Windows boxes I've owned.

I have no complaints. My late '08 Macbook still runs - a little slow to start and the trackpad has moments, but it gets the job done when I pull it out of the cabinet every few weeks and check it out.
