Sadly, it is in fact the hard drive.  After Sparky Malarky, my 15″ Powerbook G4 with 1.67Ghz and 1GB of RAM has breathed his last breaths.  Thankfully, the folks at the Apple Store are currently transferring over everything they can to Sparky Mark II.  I didn’t want to have to do all of this today, but at least I’m getting what I need.

BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

It means that The System, and this blog, will be back up and running on Monday.  Thank you kindly for all of your patience, Systemics.  If you feel really bad about the whole thing, I’ll be setting up the store soon.

Still not looking good for the computer, but we’ll find out for sure tomorrow.  Either way, no The System comics have been lost, and we should be up and running in some format by Monday.  In the meantime, DONT LEAVE ME!

Bad news, Systemics.  The main computer that runs Rosscott, Inc. has taken a turn for the worse.  It seems like a failed hard drive issue, but until I get it into the shop I won’t know for sure.  Meanwhile, the comic and blog may see a more sporadic update schedule.  I will be sure to update the site as soon as I know more.

If any of you are artists that would like to contribute guest work to help fill in the gaps, please contact me via email (systemcomic at gmail dot com).

UPDATE: Rosscott, Inc. is currently experiencing some technical problems (see the “Hang Onto Your Butts” posts below for details).  We’ll be back up and running by Monday, December 29th.
