Beyond Road Kill


Hi guys and gals.  Sorry I have been missing from the blogosphere for about two weeks.  In case, you were wondering what had happened to your favorite rabid grey squirrel, well, I’ll tell you.   I was ROADKILL.

Well, at least my also greying iMac was.  Below is a before and after photo.

AFTER:  My Computer is Roadkill

One moment, I was considering how wonderful I look as Thor the Squirrel-God of Thunder and the next……….roadkill!

(Don’t those lines look like tyre threads?)

What followed were a few trips to various repair centres while carrying my elegant, sleek, silver and @#$&%@# darn heavy computer.  Then there was the anxious wait.  Will it survive?  Fortunately, all is now well.  Even my grand-niece, Ari, helped by invoking the healing power of the Lego Squirrel!

Now ain’t she a cutie?

  1. Scarlet,
    The roadkill pattern was due to a faulty graphics card. So I had it replaced and increased my RAM memory and now the computer is so much faster. The whole episode was a bit of a shock though. I have had no problems with the Mac all these years that I almost thought it would go on forever without failing. Lesson learned. Make sure one has got backups of everything.
