traveling tales from the exotic dinda

Did the recommended software update on my Mac Powerbook the other day and now it won't boot up at all - not even a chime. Powers on but never gets past that. Read some possible troubleshooting things to try but no time to deal with it now. Work, getting ready for travel, baseball - ack, totally forgot to email new guy and let him know i'm even back in town before i leave town again. I should do that now and then bed; early back to back calls and dealing with more printing fun and kinkos. No laptop is a pain but at least I have the Acer Aspire One netbook for travel now.

And if the magic elves can come clean my house while I sleep that would be awesome too.
