I am typing on my rejuvenated and much missed Lombard. I got it back this morning and am stealing a few moments at the Mall of GA Atlanta Bread Company.
It seems that when Tess unfolded the screen she must’ve stepped on the joint that contains the hinge and the AV in such a way that the AV card cracked. It could have been much worse. While they were at it, the good folks at Daystar replaced the missing keys, upgraded the RAM, replaced the rear door, and the top case! They also tweaked the MACh Speed Control settings in such a way that I’m able to take advantage of the L2 cache; every time I’ve tried to futz with its settings I’ve crashed the Mac. It’s right now, and I’m not going to touch it!
