Frxcksz! Have to ring Apple again. The new CRT - there are some bright 'spots' in the upper part of the screen. Pinholes. Distracting stuff which I can't get rid of. Seems to be 'burnt in' into the tube itself - strange. It's really annoying when doing work in Photoshop. No- it's even annoying once you've realised there's something annoying on your screen... spots, bright spots. Like scratchmarks? I think I'll get a G5. Or no, a Dell, just to annoy Apple. How annoying. Am I getting an award now for using the verb 'to annoy' at least 54876 times? No? How annoying. 10:31:30 PM     |

Incredible. They've actually replaced the CRT and the analog board. Strange. According to Apple specs all they had to do was to replace the IVAD cable ... ? So my eMac is basically brandnew. Why not. Anyway, I'm back. And I missed the IT&W party. Damn. Meanwhile at Apple: They have just introduced the 'World's fastest PC'. A G5 dual processor running with 2Ghz. I want one of those. And Safari must be the fastest browser on the planet. The speed is amazing. And: 'Panther' reminds me of a Science Fiction movie. Looks good. Very good indeed. I want it. Now. Apart from that: I read an old Maigret novel, 'Inspector Cadaver' and watched lots of boring stuff on the telly. Ridiculous. Sigh ... I got me 'puter back!!! Hooray! 11:08:42 AM     |
