Well, poop. [computers]
It looks like as of this morning, my 10-year-old MacBook may have just gone to sleep, never to wake up again.
(I mean, I'll keep trying, but so far I can't get to the boot screen, yikes).
It's probably time to just suck it up and shop for a new computer. Before the new semester starts. It could just be that this one is physically wearing out again, especially given exposure to cold temperatures this week, plus the vibrations of bike commuting. From what I understand, many Apple parts aren't soldered together very well to begin with. And in this day and age, 10 years is a long lifespan for a computer.
I've been in the Abyss for a while now.
I bought Adobe CS5 about a year before they switched over to the no-disk annual license renewal business model. That's probably the biggest thing holding me back.
I maybe like Keynote too much.
But I should probably shop for a PC this time around.
I hate computer shopping.
Bleah.
