New toy...
Jul. 16th, 2004 02:20 amI'm up late working on briefing packages for Carol -- there's a review at JPL on Wednesday, and I'll be en route to Devon Island by then, so she's agreed to cover my stuff if I get it to her by Friday morning. Done.
Otherwise... my new PowerBook 15" model (Thaleia) arrived today, glistening aluminum in place of the paint-peeling, 3-year-old Ti-book. Merope has been losing screen resolution, flashing at odd intervals, and the hinge is close to breaking again. Rather than risk a breakdown literally in the middle of nowhere (or later in Spain), I ordered a new machine. As well as an iSight camera for videoconferencing... and I shipped a Cisco IP-phone northward this afternoon.
