the passing of imac G5

Sad news from the hastings project: while apple offered to proceed with more tests and operations to revive our computer, it was decided that it was too expensive to be worthwhile. We had to say goodbye to a good friend and pull the plug. We had good times: long nights during school working on presentations, wedding and surf movie production work, song recording, etc. But he was finally growing old- with ever-decreasing hard drive space, some programs were becoming slower and we knew his time of service may be drawing to a close soon. With a solid 4.5 year performance, we had hopes of a bit more life, but also are grateful to have known him and feel we got our money's worth.

But life will continue, and we're pleased to announce we expect a new addition to our home as early as tomorrow! Looking to save some money, we went the adoption route- buying a refurbished imac. We're so excited to begin this new chapter in our life and get the computer dependent hastings projects back up and running efficiently.

thanks imac G5 and R.I.P.
