On Forced Hiatus

Two Decembers ago when my iMac committed suicide, I was low on cash and needed an immediate replacement.
Enter a $600 Compaq, which was adequate for maybe two good years before it started acting up. Now it's a stuttering, jabbering, non turn-offable piece of electronic shit- soon to be stripped of its files and relegated to my front lawn for the scavengers to grab.
Meanwhile, I contemplated buying another Mac, but it wouldn't be totally compatible with the Dell I have at work, so dude, I'm getting a Dell.
Should arrive next week, so if my e-mail and blogging are spotty, you'll know why.
