At 8:47 AM Pacific Time this morning, I laid my 500mhz Graphite iMac to rest. It was donated to the San Francisco Street Tech Organization aimed to offer low-cost computer training to those in disadvantaged San Francisco Communities.
It had seen many great times and hours invested in The Sims & Diablo II. Not to mention countless Internet sites and assisted in 4 different job changes. This guy was purchased on eBay back in 2001 when I was living on Huntington Ave with Rachel. It survived many upgrades & performance enhancements, but it was finally time to step into the next generation with an Intel Core Mac Processor.
Thanks Graphite iMac. You will be missed.

Yit-gadal v’yit-kadash sh’mey raba… may he give someone else’s life meaning, in his next life…
(Say, this isn’t the cumputer that you shlepped from France, is it??? I will never forget seeing you carrying that huge box out of Customs with your pillow under your arm! Still laughing over that…)
Whoops.. “computer” Maman better go back to “spelling school”…
