Mac down and out
Well, my hip and groovy black Macbook died on Friday. It wouldn’t come back from sleep and no amount of magic funny keypresses would persuade it to do anything other than turnĀ on the white light on the front and spin the disk after a brief flash of back light, or, after 4s of holding down the button, switch off again.
So it’s into the shop for repair. A rather gloomy operative seemed not in the slightest interested that I needed it back this week. Repairs take two weeks in strict rotational order. Really? That’s a really consumer oriented view of this - this is a vital business tool and getting it fixed quickly should be a priority and, yes, I’d pay for that.
However if you think that Macs are toys for making photo albums or playing garage band on, well, a couple of weeks isn’t really that important.
