Death of the iClock :(

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008
I didn't have much time today to work on stuff for the show. I did pull out my display boards, as I want to change them somewhat for this year (who wants the same exact thing every year). In other regards, I went to change the battery on the so-called iClock, which stopped working a few weeks ago. Sad thing though, is I had some difficulty opening the case, much more than I have in the past. Long story short, instead of just opening the case, it snapped open. In doing do, the whole front of the old Mac Plus cracked in half, a screw hole got sheared off, and the clock face itself shattered. I guess the thing was just a tad too old and brittle. I should have been more careful, but I'm not crying over spilt milk. For now, the iClock is gone, simple as that. I hope to someday get another old Mac or iMac, and create a new iClock, but that won't be in time for this years show. Thus, I'll just be bringing a regular clock, as I hate not knowing what time it is in the museum area (they have no clock at the show - at least not the exhibit hall). May the iClock be at piece in silicon heaven!
