A reading from the iBook
My 12″ iBook G3 has gone the way of all laptop flesh bearing self-destructing logic boards. Let’s lower our eyes and say a few words of remembrance.
A Reading from the Holy Book of Monty Python, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 19
Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem.
16. And Saint Wozniak raised the iBook up on high, saying, ‘O Lord, bless this Thy G4 that, with it, Thou mayest let thy people gallivant about the internet in Thy mercy without fear of the horizontal rainbow lines.’
17. And the Lord did grin, and the people did check stats and their feeds and carp about the price of gas in various forums and realize that the number of weeks of data lost were three-and-a-half.
18. Not four, because they did obey the Lord and back up, but three-and-a-half, because they were wicked and did not back up as frequently as the Lord demanded and thus deserved their most unnecessary loss.
19. And because they did repent of their wickedness, they refused to pay the $99 transfer data fee to the Genius Bar but decided instead to upgrade to a 14-inch with a Super Drive.
Amen.
