Rest in Peace, Oskar

My iMac is now just a few steps away from death. From just one narrow band of white scarring the screen, now the entire right third of the screen is blacked out. On a Mac, that's the part where the icons are.

I'm backing up like crazy now, but I'm sad. Computers are such a personal part of our lives. Oskar knows more about me and my obsessions, my secrets, my desires and my late-night habits than any living person. And a laptop, which is what I am using now, just doesn't have the power, memory, disk space or plain awesomeness of a big iMac.

Goodbye, Oskar. You've been good to me.
