Technology Blog

Here at the UCTMW World HQ we clearly need a better qualified CTO. I've been wearing that hat for a few months since the departure of Francois for a tour of duty as a chef in the French Foreign Legion, most recently on the Libyan front. But I think I got snookered into wasting some of our technology budget.

You may recall about two weeks ago a report that my classic black Apple Mac Book had "died". This was confirmed by a so called "Genius" at our local Apple Store, which  is now the mecca of choice for sleazy guys to park at demo computers trolling internet dating sights, who don't want their wives to go through the "history" on their home computers.  Yuck!

Anyway, the Genius took my lap top to the bowels of the store, and came back 20 minutes later with a look on his face resembling an undertaker trainee at an Arkansas funeral home. He explained that the condition of my 4 year old computer was "grave" and the problem was "inscrutible", at least by the collection of other geniuses assembled in their triage center in the back of the store. Of course, I could elect to send it into the "shop" for an indefinite period of time for a more detailed diagnosis. At a minimum charge of $280, not including any necessary repairs.

Did I want to throw that money away today?

Well, I guess not. Slave left the store with a flashy new lap top.

But somehow I had doubts. I liked my classic. Maybe an extra laptop would be nice to have. So I brought it to a local independent computer shop. A week later my computer is back, looking and acting brand new. They explained that Apple was offering a free new "face" to replace the cracked trim on my old model (no one told me that at the Apple store!)  They sold me a new battery, which I probably needed after 4 years. And they removed some RAM I didn't really need from a defective RAM slot.  Total charge: $140 for what looks like a brand new Black classic.

Lesson: Don't rely on the Apple Store to fix your computer once the warranty expires!!!!

And don't you like the way I dressed this "sex blog" up with a hot shot of Mistress with my black classic!

On the home front, Mistress has to make an overnight trip up north for work today.

I'm sure going to miss her company in bed, and watching tonight's big debate. Of course, Mistress has taken precautions to make sure i don't "misbehave".

"You're in that cage today, Slave...."

Indeed. I've already smushed into my ring, and will be going upstairs shortly for a little "bon voyage" sex before I head to work and Mistress hops into her car for the drive north.
