I bought a refurbished Apple Mac Book Pro today, and a terabyte and a half of storage. I'm a bit boggled by it, and it's a burden to Christine for me to continue dithering long after her intervention session where she sat me down and we discussed needs.

My laptop isn't dead yet, so it's hard to say i *need* the laptop, but
a) when it does die it will be a crisis as i still provide my own machine for work
b) the refurb deal was nice and time-limited
c) this way Mandrake can be taken to the Apple Store and left in their hands to repair the possibly wonky USB ports, the definitely wonky trackpad click button, and anything else before the warranty expires (when? soon?)

Much of the storage is simply insurance.

Now i need to pick out another medieval medicinal plant with a nice, rich folklore around it, ideally something with a couple common names. Mandrake was a fun.

Suggestions welcomed!
