And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think so, but I'll try leaving it off for longer this time. This will be about the millionth time this has been tried, though.

[yeah, I can hear it clicking, but nothing comes out. There's some kind of alignment problem.]

(Okay, screw this. I'm emailing our Apple account rep and making an Apple Store appointment.)

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Have you ever tried a little eyesocket?

Of course I've had it in the ear before.

And there's this: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Okay, it's .mac renewal time for me again. I'm going to see if I can scrape up the bucks. Plus? I am looking for a cheaper one.

Here's what froogle finds: [link]

Anyone see any for less than $75?

Hey. New board.

Hey, Eddie, your suggestion of moving the RAM to a new slot worked on my G5. At least for the moment. Thanks!

I'm going to be, um, slightly unethical and try to sell it while it's working rather than continuing trying to diagnose a nebulous possible problem. Don't need the computer anyway. Will warn of instability to anybody buying, of course, and lower asking price accordingly.

Your tag here.

Cool, glad I could help.

Hey. New board.

Whoa! Whatsmore, putting the 1 GB of RAM I thought it had killed into one of the slots worked now! So now it's back to 1.5 GB of RAM. Sweet.

Man, it's so much faster, too. It's amazing, 512 MB really isn't quite enough for Tiger with a billion big programs running. 1.5 GB is a good feeling.
