waiting on the latest tape out of my home brew Von Newman architecture, I think I didn't gently caress up my cross bar so maybe my poo poo won't go into a weird HACF when DMA tries to contend for SRAM lol!!! only 10 more years before I can start on a proper graphics accelerator coprocessor

man shoveling all that silica rich sand and processing it by hand was a chore lemme tell ya, hope my custom lithography rig was well calibrated this time, 600nm here I come!! lol!!

No. you should have taken it to a Genius Bar and the geniuses would have told you to bin that pos and instead purchase a new MacBook Air 2014 edition.
