I have an old one I'll get rid of if there's interest. It's pretty old though, has a dodgy power connector, and runs Linux right now... you'd have to (re)install OSX yourself.
About repairs, there are two (2) authorized Mac repair centers in Kunming. One of them is on 121 and they are assholes. The better one is in the middle of town and they are very nice and professional, but the wait can be 2.5hrs before your device is seen (and you do have to wait).
Things to check if it won't turn on at all: make sure it has power, make sure it isn't overheating, do a hardware check on startup.
Nanchao Yeche sounds like a good next project, got a URL? I'm mostly enjoying the maps right now. They say if you can't explains something to a child, you don't really know it yourself. Drawing out historical places is a bit like that. It keeps you honest and engaged with the geographical realities of mountain wandering.
Yep, she's a keeper. Meanwhile, I would prefer to be barefoot and sailing... and did you know, I can't find a single reference to 漢昌 in ancient south-western Sichuan. Narrative mapping fail.
Maybe time to keep working on my dodgy try-to-remember-some-文言文 translation of the Manshu (Tang Dynasty text about Nanzhao/Yunnan) over at en.wikisource.org/wiki/Translation:Manshu
Help is welcome. (For the kitchen door lock, and the translation)

I uncovered a really interesting article in an old national geographic about the American GIs of the period.
At night they used to drive their jeeps to a nightclub called the 'United Nations Club' and drink 'air raid juice' which was probably baijiu and apparently resulted in their inability to find their way home.
Nice to see some things haven't changed, even if it's the locals now driving and the Americans catch taxis.
The sense that Singapore is a general soul-free zone, fake democracy cum dynastic oligarchy carved deceitfully out of a platform of popular communism, and general US military ally and all 'round lackey.
Someone should tell her to go to the AIRPORT, an EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT, the BANK, or the GOVERNMENT ... people with a spare 300k don't hang out in train stations.
bexkmg: Better to get a bus out of town, eg. from south bus station to Chengjiang or Yuxi. Personally I would recommend cycling from Chengjiang (where I usually live), down the east side of Fuxian lake, then there's a hilly section! If you prefer relative flat with less impressive scenery and more traffic, do the west side instead, via Jiangchuan. After either route, you should get to Tonghai. From Tonghai, there are two roads - the direct highway (veer left at the top of the hill; probably an old version of which also exists), or one of the best roads in the whole province, the road to Shiping (veer right at the top of the hill). The road to Shiping has lots of hills but is extremely beautiful and has a really long downward slope toward the end. Very little traffic, excellent surface, wild scenery. Once you're near Shiping, just head east in to Jianshui (via the bridge, Tuanshan, etc. which lie half-way between the two towns). Once there, you may as well continue on the old road to Gejiu (low traffic again) via swallow cave, then get up early in the morning to illegally cycle (with lights for safety!) through the tunnel to the south of Gejiu and enjoy the tropical descent to the Red River valley. Left for Vietnam, right for Yuanyang rice terraces (bit more up to go!)
