From Fiction to Fact

Q: What did the Atheist say to the Rabbi? A (still to be determined)

I've been trying to get my laptop to rip a badly scratched CD, using a piece of software called cdparanoia. I left it running overnight, and came into work to find it off and unwilling to turn on. I paniced for a while -- I can't afford a new laptop right now, and I really need what it does for me. So.. wandering through Apple's site trying to find the cheapest replacement I can afford, I decided to amuse myself with a help page dealing with systems not turning on. I unplugged everything, took the battery out, and pressed the pen button it suggested, and surprisingly it came back on afterwards. I'm glad I found that. I've lost a power supply once to trying to rip something overnight, and was sure that I had done the same here.

I'm sure I had more to say.. but I've gotten distracted by something. Oh well. Maybe I'll add more to this entry later.
