Come back Roy

Roy our iMac G5, is dead.

Dead.

Appar­ently this has been hap­pen­ing to others, as the part I need is back ordered until June 16.

The power supply used to be [user servicable](http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:0tjRF4HTRmQJ:manuals.info.apple.com/en/imacg5_20inch_Power_Supply.pdf imac g5 power supply&hl=en&client=firefox-a) but that is no longer true, so I have to wait for the part, and wait for a tech to make the repair.

Thank­fully Roy is less than a year old, so we’re get­ting the at-​home repair ser­vice, which is sweet. But I’d rather not need any repairs — at home or otherwise.

Since you can no longer see any­thing on poor Mac­simus, our very old G3 iBook, due to either the inverter or the back­light, Erica and I are Mac-​less.

I’ve tried work­ing in Cygwin on my PC, but it’s not the same as pro­duc­tive and fun.

I’ve tried work­ing on my Debian server, but since its head­less I have to do it through my PC anyway.

I’m taking this way too hard…
