Join me in wishing Ruby a happy birthday! Ruby and I have been through a lot - she even moved across the country with me. For three years Ruby has put up with my daily torment. She is still going pretty strong (knock on wood). Happy birthday, Ruby!

5 tien // Oct 20, 2003 at 9:57 pm
sounds like a plan. and does giving you drinks make your face turn the same color as ruby’s body?

8 Mark Shewmaker // Oct 21, 2003 at 5:08 am
I never seem to remember birthdays. I’ll probably go to hell for that.
Happy Birthday, Ruby.
9 rachelleb // Oct 21, 2003 at 8:02 am
that’s true. ruby forgives you.
10 rachelleb // Oct 21, 2003 at 8:31 am
tien! she’s only 3, you pervert!
actually, how does that translate into human years?
(my fave ruby vid.. shows off the curves quite well)

hmm…3 in computer years has got to be of age. i mean, the lifespan of a computer is maybe 5 years? since the life expectancy for women in this country is now 80 years, ruby would be around 48-ish? so i think it’s okay for me to comment on her curves.

“ahem. .. she’s not ‘red’!!!!!!”

Happy Birthday little rose-colored computer!

18 rachelle // Oct 21, 2003 at 11:29 am
better be playin! ruby is super-sensative about being confused with the strawberry imac. ew.
19 scott // Oct 21, 2003 at 2:35 pm
People, people. Do you think Ruby needs to be exposed to this discussion of race?!? Strawberry, ruby, grape, etc…..I mean, aren’t we all basically the same in the Great Jobs’ eyes? (Except, of course the tangerine!)
20 rachelle // Oct 21, 2003 at 3:33 pm
you’re right.. but i’ve still always had something against the lifesaver colored imacs - strawberry, lime, tangerine, grape and blueberry. they’re too cutesy.
21 jeannette // Oct 21, 2003 at 4:21 pm
happy birthday, ruby! you (and rachelle) have provided me with much good reading!
(btw, today is the first day i realized one could comment on your links. when did you start that? i’m so out of it…)

Happy Birthday, Ruby!
My Mr. Indigo will turn 3 in two months. Since I’m moving to SF I wasn’t sure I could bring him with me. According to my dealer the voltage will be now problem. I’m happy as a Mac that I don’t have to put him in a permanent sleep!
23 rachelle // Oct 21, 2003 at 4:27 pm
jeannette - beginning of the summer? or so? i was going to tell you when you kept commenting on the main blog posts instead of the link blog, but i kept forgetting.
richard - happy early birthday to mr. indigo. where are you moving from again? i remember seeing it on your site but now i cant remember!

Did you buy it on a Tuesday
You could have called
Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don’t matter if its gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Who could hang a name one you
When you change with every new day
Don’t question why, she needs to be free
She’ll tell you its the only way to be free
She just can’t be chained
To a life where nothings gained
And nothing lost
At such a cost
There’s no time to lose , I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And lose your mind
Ain”t life unkind
Happy Birthday Ruby

Goodbye Ruby
Ruby & Rachelle In October 2000, Mark and I went to Comp USA in Kearny Mesa and I adopted Ruby. Since then she’s been with me through thick and thin, from California to New York and finally making her…
