Another computer woe update for you.

I went over to my friends place last night with a bag o' computer parts in hopes of piecing together a "new" desktop temporarily, until I can get my MacBook Pro working again (and my desktop too.)

Things were going well until we got to plugging in the power cable for the video card. As it turns out, the cable in his case was short and we couldn't find an extension cable anywhere, so the plan failed miserably. I came up with the idea of getting some copper wire and jamming it into the power plugs. I guess that didn't go over so well, although I can't see why not.

Oh well. I appreciated the help in any case. I have an appointment tomorrow at noon at the Apple Store to try and sort all this out with the MacBook.

Hopefully tonight will be good though. I'm going to see Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood's improv show tonight. This is the second time for me since they came through town last summer and they were awesomely funny. I've been looking forward to this for quite some time now.
