Post 42 of 90.
The Mac AT guy was totally baffled, and so am I. I paid for a full GB of RAM when I first got his laptop--I even went back and checked out the original receipt--and the "About This Mac" window used to clearly show a full 1 GB in the system. Then all of a sudden I lost 256 somewhere. I assumed it was the overheating/logic board problem I had heard about for my run of Powerbooks, but when Julian looked in the RAM slots, he found a 512 chip and 256 chip! I had never felt competent to open it up before, so I never actually examined the chips with my own eyes.
WTF?! So where did my extra RAM go? Did somebody switch out the chips?
There was still some kind of discharge from the cat's left eye today, so I took him down to Lawrenceburg to see the vet. As soon as he realized I was carrying him to his carrier, the struggle began, and he managed to catch a claw on the edge of the carrier door. Then he wailed and cried in the car on the way down.
The receptionist thought I was trying to schedule some walk-in surgery, but eventually we figured out that I was just bringing the cat in to have his eye looked at. The scale registered 18 pounds of cat flesh, and the vet immediately prescribed eye drops. Both eyes were a little irritated and infected, but mostly the left.
The cat struggled and scratched when I picked him up to return him to his carrier, and scrabbled up my coat like he was going to climb on top of my head to get away from the all the scary sounds and smells in the vet's office.
When I got him home, I discovered he had not pooped in his carrier like he usually does when we visit the vet's office. As far as I know, this is a first.
