Apple NINJA!
Prolly been watching a little too much Naruto lately
The Apple of Discord
My first thought upon learning today's topic was "The Big Apple". My second thought was "Naw, I ain't gonna draw that". So here's my third thought, the Golden Apple of Eris.
As you all of course know, Eris was the goddess of Discord, who, miffed at not being invited to a wedding, showed up anyway and threw her golden apple to the ground, shouting " To the fairest". Now this was a pretty fancy wedding, so many of the Olympians were present. I chose to depict the exact awkward moment when Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, each believing themselves to be the fairest of them all, all simultaneously reached for the Golden Apple of Discord. One thing leads to another, and this little incident eventually lead to the Trojan War and the more-or-less complete destruction of the race of Heroes.
Bad Apple!
After 2 years of use the Logic Board overheated and died....so I pay the $600 (!!) to replace the board, hoping that if I am REALLY careful, don't use the machine all the time and keep it well ventilated, I might get a few more years out of it.
8 months later it's dead again and this time I'm not getting suckered into replacing the bloomin' logic board.
So I do some research. It turns out that overheating is a VERY widespread issue with MacBook Pros and a wide variety of other Apple equipment. Because cooling isn't as important as looking Cool!
Buyer beware!
