I seriously can't figure out my Dell computer. Back in December, it died on me. Then a few months later it started working. And now...
It works fine.
Really. It works. I defragged the hard drive and it's working like nothing ever happened to it. Programs open as they should. It turns on fine, sleeps, restarts. All the files seem to be intact. In fact, I'm typing this post on my Dell. (And you can find my other Dell posts here.)

It's sleek, it's sexy, it's not white like the old iMacs.
Shame I just bought my new mac a few months ago.... Of course, those buying the new iMac today will have to fork over more money in October when OS 10.5 comes out.
This post is mostly for me to remember where I can find that article on showing hidden files in OS X, since it's a pain in the ass to do.
FedEx delivered my modem. I got the box, opened it to make sure it was in fact the modem, then slapped the return FedEx label and dropped it off at the FedEx terminal.

And my Grape iMac, the trusty old computer that I nearly killed a few years ago, sits next to it, wondering why it's being neglected. After all, it still works fine. Slow, but fine. I was using it constantly up 'till a few days ago.
But, my dear Grape iMac, you've seen better days.

Yesterday I accidently turned it on. It was sitting on the floor next to the other Dell that I'm using all plugged in and ready to go. I turned on the other Dell seconds later. And they both started were ready to go at about the same time.

This after my dell desktop's hard drive crashed.
This is really a crappy month.
At least I have my trusty iMac (knock on laminated plastic that resembles wood).
