Since the beginning of my time writing for Cryptomundo, my old reliable G4 has carried me through thick and thin. Sadly, that 2004 vintage G4 tower died, officially, last Thursday night. This computer has been the source of over 6000 blog postings!! Seeing it slowly fade away was quite upsetting.
Now, temporarily, I am working at writing my blogs via my son’s old hand-me-down 2004 or 2005 iBook G4, which is like trying to fund a navy by having a bake sale. Please have patience with me until a replacement computer arrives. I will not even go into the panic attacks and lack of communication links I am having with the loss of so many e-addresses, snail mail contacts, images, files, email archives, and book/article docs that appear to be frozen within this dead tower! Forgive me if you have been trying to reach me.
A friend passes away!
If you would like to help out, and assist with the purchase of a new computer dedicated for the International Cryptozoology Museum and Cryptomundo columns, please think about making a holiday donation this week! Click below to contribute even ten bucks. It will help!

In the meantime, I am debating what to do with this expired G4 tower.
Should I turn it into a mailbox? (It scares me a bit to see that Boing Boing was discussing what to do with converted G4 towers in 2006! I guess I really got some mileage out of my machine.)
A planter?
A hamster cage? A very small cryptid cage?
A historical example of an object used in early 21st century writing, to be installed in the museum?
Any ideas?
Thank you for your support and condolences.
