Computer Woes
My MacBookPro appears to be dying. When booting the machine, I get a braided screen behind the grey apple logo. The braids are made up of diagonal bits (narrow green ones and wider grey/lavender ones) ascending left to right.
After a few seconds of this Ill either get a) blue screen, b) a different but similar braided pattern, c) a partial image of the normal screen telling me that the Mac is loading its system software.
In all of these cases the cursor quickly freezes.
Now and then (at least this happened yesterday) the computer will successfully boot, and then run for a while. I managed to update my back up last night during one of these brief moments of life. Then the whole thing froze again (and bits of the braided pattern flooded the screen).
This morning, its even worse. Crap!
