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 bought a refurbished iPhone SE from NewEgg last year, because I decided I'd rather pay $159 for another year or two of the model I like, than several hundred dollars for the new, larger current models. So far so good, but I don't remember whether that was before or after we move to this apartment, meaning I'm not sure how far "so far" is. But they might have what you're looking for, and it might be superior to the unknown sellers on eBay.
