no cost to me was my wife trying to run her business with no computer for over a week, relying on icloud which had not managed to save the latest version of her spreadsheets etc and losing that work

and it would have been nice to have the laptop back to where it was but now I have to spend all that time setting up emails n poo poo again


like I said. I expect to pour time and energy into a windows machine. I expect this mac to do the hard work for me

and thanks to the lovely shop I have to take the computer back to get fixed AGAIN coz osx is a bitch about serial numbers


the repair cost of this laptop terrifies me for owning it for much longer as its likely it'll break again in a month I guess

this laptop is for my wife to manage her/our business. it's mostly emails and a few power pints and spreadsheets. anything of value should be on iCloud but didn't work so smoothly so I will investigate why it didn't seem to have saved the most recent things


if the functionality to save the setup rather than a backup to the cloud doesn't exist I'll just go home disappointment rather than with a silly setup of plugging in an external and backing up manually like some kind of pidgeon
