My iMac fried...
As with all things big business - even my mac has it's thingys..
The capacitors, again, went bad - only this time it is not covered, So, i.e. imac G5 is history. I am not going to pay over $800 to repair an old computer. Relatively speaking old = 3 years. I am not.
I am writing this on a decade old laptop - the speed is driving me nuts...but I am grateful I Idid not sell it for scaps.
I guess something better is waiting on stage right to enter the scene...

I hope everyone is safe....light to all - I may be gone for a while..

:grouphug:

...and I catch myself reaching for a keyboard that does not exist...The letters on this laptop is gone..erased from use...ugh! I trust this is all for a reeason - I spent 3 days on recovering data...
I trust all will be A ok.

Love you all...

1. Wow, that is just so sad, rumpel.
All I have to say is that I really hope that the Universe has a really good reason for putting you through so much. Universe, can't you, via grace, cut rumpel a break, please? :(

I'm so sorry that you've gotten yet another hit, my friend. :grouphug:

2. Rumpel, so sorry
Sounds like you recovered the data, at least. We'll miss you until you can come back!

If 3 years is an old computer, then mine, yikes.

We'll be sending you light and our best thoughts.

3. So very sorry, rumpel
Am having a very strong feeling that you will find a way to get yourself a new laptop...and, with very little financial pain.

Sending vibes that this may be so.

:hug:

We seemed to be strangely intertwined re: crises. My iMac has been down for the count for a fortnight.
