Sad Panda =(

So my warcraft playing iBook G4 isn't starting up. That's no good. This is the last development in a long list of problems that the little happy mac has been going through for a while now. The first problem that developed is that the battery died, such that you could only operate the computer when it was plugged in and if it became unplugged it would immediately shut off. So, it basically became a very small, and not very powerful desktop.

The second thing to happen was that the computer starting making a scary whirring noise about where the hard drive was anytime you would move it quickly. This became any time you would move it rather sharply to almost anytime you would move it.

And now: the final chapter in "my iBook is dying", Sunday night the computer was REMARKABLY slow. Slower than it had been in quite some time. Suddenly the whirring seems to have stopped and now the computer won't start. Me thinks my hard drive is in trouble. So... it looks like I might not be getting any WoW time in the near future. Ah... the dailies!!! Ah... all the cash. Instance runs!!! NO!!!

One or two things are hoping to come out of this little incident. Either, the computer gets fixed and there is much rejoicing, or a new PC desktop gets ordered and there is rejoicing, with a heavy tint of sadness.

I'll keep you updated.
