ram transplant
My Macbook is sick. Waiting for parts to come in so I can fix it next week. I'm using my boss' work's computer that he graciously lent to me. Well, he also needs me to do work, so I will have to do that also.
A little part of me is super depressed and worried that my Macbook will never again see the light of day, but the rational side of me knows that it's going to be fine. Right now I'm just concerned with how to open the bottom shell of the Macbook. I've read internet forums and apparently I need a #00 or #000 Phillips head screwdriver. Maybe it's time I invest in some tools of my own. This would be a good opportunity to buy a kit. Or I could go to ITS and ask to borrow their tools/have them open it for me. I wonder if they will do it without asking questions and for free lol.
So I've been preoccupied with that all this week... It's been bad. I cried a little when my Macbook crapped out. Apple is a great product but when shit happens, the amount of stress and anxiety exponentially skyrockets and the adrenaline you get is used to desperately peruse internet forums extensively to get as much accurate information as possible so you don't get ripped off by Apple when trying to repair it. All the while hoping that you did not just spend over $1000 on this computer for it to crap out 16 months later. That was my week.
It's only a ram problem, so no logic board failures yay! I upgraded to 8GB of ram so when I have it successfully installed, my machine should run like the freakin wind. Smooth and fast and beautifully.
Got a lunch date so I have to get dressed.
