When the Stage Goes Black

The Curtain Goes Down

Flip up the screen, smack a key, and all systems go... and all systems go. The screen remained blank, beside the fact that the power button lit and internal organs were heard coming to life. Power down, power back up, and still nothing. I scoff at the boy, that's what he gets for trusting in a Mac, Worked fine every day for years and with no pre-signs of failure, no something gone wrong, just colossal absolute failure. So off to an authorized dealer, Tom wanted to support a small mom and pop store, but the train system only went one way, straight to down town Mac-vill, big box central. With a hundred buck diagnostic fee he swallowed his pride and headed for the train. "Stop narrating my life" the little boy screams “you’re starting to piss me off". With that he grabbed his other hat and with a desperate leap I was in his pack, city bound. After having Mr. Service stick his first aid kit in the USB, pushed a few buttons asked it to look left, now cough. Diagnosis got to head to the real Mac store, what no fee. First, have to go online and book an appointment first with a "genius". Just to tell the boy if he needed a new 2 grand part and whether he is the fortunate recipient of a free recall part. If not it’s a new computer and all the adobe software.

Well that's just another great day being shat on by the computer industry.

Teacozy out!
