Computer surgery outcome

Agatha is back!

fordprfct fixed her yesterday. In transplant terms, it's like she has a new digestive system, new heart and lungs, blood transfusion, new corneas, new larynx, new fingers, expanded brain, and we had to move her ears. The main part of her brain, skin, and bones stayed the same, but that's it.

It's bionic Agatha! Or, it's an odd Dr. Who-Girl Genius crossover, and this is her next regeneration.

Expensive, but it would have been MUCH worse without his help.

Yaaay indeed! That must be a great relief. So glad you're reconnected, and just in time for the con, too!

In time for the con?

The only con I'm expecting to get to go to this year is FenCon, sigh...

Saved the brain - does this mean you managed to salvage the CPU?

Transplant analogies

No. We figure the brain, as seat of her personality and memories, is the hard drive with the O/S. We analogized the CPU and motherboard as heart and lungs. The power supply and the squid-thing of its connections is the digestive system. The video card is the cornea transplant we had to do. The larynx is the new speakers, and the hands/fingers the new keyboard. (The keyboard died in an earlier incident, and the speakers were cheap and replaced a 10 year old set that had a huge subwoofer and way too damn many cables in the rats' nest behind my monitor.) Her ears are the CDrom drive, which had to get moved so that the ONE and only IDE connector they have on motherboards these days could have the cable reach both it and the old hard drive. The brain addition is a bigger second hard drive, SATA I think is the tech term, that I will use for additional storage.
