setup

We carry many devices onboard, some for everyday tasks, while others are reserved for low-power situations.

In 2016, we moved aboard Pino with MacbookPro 2012s, one of them died in Mexico in late 2016 and the other in a damp locker in 2025. A friend gave us a used MacbookPro 17", but it was too power-hungy for the boat, and it later died in 2020 during our passage from Japan to Canada across the North Pacific Ocean(a giant jar of umeshu exploded over it).

Most of our computers are secondhand, donated to the studio between 2017 and now. We'd like to thank the following people: Josh Auget for the x250Thinkpad, John Eternal for the MacbookPro 13" 2010, and Lloyd Williams for the MacbookAir 2013 11".

We accept laptop donations, but they can't be too power hungry and they must be located within Canada.
