The best laid schemes....

Here in this cottage in the West Cork countryside with Bags of time and material I had planned to post daily to this blog. Yesterday I took my Mac into the Cork City Apple hospital to have its non-functioning integral keyboard restored to perfect health. The problem, the doctors told me, was serious. Mac would have to be admitted for a few days for tests. Perhaps an operation, a transplant, will be necessary. I had to sign a form giving my permission - and pay some money. I now have the prospect of waiting anxiously by the phone for news. I do have this trusty iPad with me but do not have the patience to write posts hereon. The iPod is a great gadget but should not be regarded as a substitute for a MacBook.
