Do you have the time to listen to me whine?
Bertie Owen is dead until further notice; cause unclear; I may be scarce for some time. This is disastrous on all possible fronts.
[edit] Modifications over the years notwithstanding, Bertie Owen is at heart a 2.53GHz 15-inch 2009 MacBook Pro. He has one fan and uses a 60-watt charger. I consider him irreplaceable, but Apple has long considered him obsolete. I consider his successors far inferior and likely to report me to the cloud for saying so. Is it even possible to buy a machine of his make and model these days that isn't in utterly trashed shape? Please hold off for the moment on the Linux evangelism if that is your bent; I am making this update from a Linux machine emergency-accessed for purposes of communication and my reactions are strongly in the camp of thanks, I hate it.

I have a few spare laptops that I didn't have a chance to get to the MIT swapmeet this fall--let me know if you'd like one and we could sort out which would be a good fit. A loan, a gift or whatever works for you.
(And if you'd be reluctant to accept a gift, barter for reprint of poetry/film noir review for my zine would work, too.)
