Ever thought of getting a blackberry? Never mind....
Blackberries are for wusses.
ReplyDeleteNext time I'm carrying the G5 tower up the mountain!
Forgot it was in your bag?
ReplyDeleteNo, worse: carried it on purpose. Part weight-training for the West Coast Trail, part paranoia about thieves...
ReplyDeleteBy day three, I cheerfully hid the iBook under a tarp in the 1986 rusted Ford Ranger, because, as a friend pointed out, "what loser would break into a vehicle like that?"
Have a laptop like mine, Amanda....completely thief proof: External keyboard thanks to a stray cup of coffee, battery compartment held together by tape, sound broken, Norton expired in 2005. I am sort of hoping someone nicks it so I can claim on my insurence. So far no luck!
ReplyDeleteExtreme Blogging! There has to be a coffee table book in that.
ReplyDeleteSascha: I "borrowed back" the 2000 laptop I'd given mum – the ghetto one with the eviscerated DVD drive covered in duct tape (shiny silver electrician's sticky).
ReplyDeleteBut the ole model did not play ball with the swanky new GPS, so I had to bring my pride and joy.
Tis a shame, really. I was ripped off in a Jo'burg hotel once and the thieves disdained to touch the road-weary clamshell iBook. That thing is proven to dispel robbers...
Louche: Maybe that's our first project together, since we're not really on the fat-burner-diesel ball here!
