Annamaria on Monday
I was planning something about my recent trip to Kenya in honor of the new edition of The Blasphemers, which launched on June 1. Unfortunately, my computer stopped working. The current snafu began with an update to Sonoma OS. After it was installed, a couple of weeks ago, the desktop slowed down, and I had to spend a lot of time staring at spinning rainbows. Then came a warning popup that the OS update was not working properly, and I had to reinstall the OS. I knew that was drastic. It happened last Wednesday and took over six hours.
On Thursday morning, a new pop-up told me I had to download a complete back up from Time Machine. I tried. But it would not download. It balked and told me I had to reinstall the OS. I knew that I was stuck in a loop.
Then came 2 1/2 hours on the phone with Apple helpers. They finally gave up and scheduled me to take the invalid to the Apple Store. On Friday, at the Genius (sic) Bar, the sick Mac was so weak it could not even run the diagnosis. It was admitted to intensive care. My computer desk looks with this:
So today, I leave you with a few jokes, to distract you from my crybaby behavior.
