Well, the sad ending to the story of the Sad Mac is that the Top 100 Hymns List is trapped inside my Mac. I have no way to transfer the informaiton inside the Mac to another computer until I buy another computer. The computer I’m working on now is a Dell running Windows, and it’s so buggy that it takes me twice as long to write a post as it would have taken on my Beloved Old Mac (BOM). Since it would cost about $1000 to (maybe) fix The BOM, and since I don’t have $1000 spare dollars to fix The BOM or to buy a new computer, I do not know what to do about the hymns project.

I do have some of the hymns with their places on the list because I had already started drafts of posts about them. I have 35 more hymns to count down, and of those I can probably reconstruct about 20. Should I post the ones I have? Should I wait and hope that a miracle will let me back inside The BOM? Should I undergo hypnosis in order to try to remember the names and places on the list of the missing hymns?

‘Tis a puzzlement.
