I was wrong

cs’ old laptop bit the dust last week.

When you pressed the power button it would not start up. So she was the recipient of a new MacBook. But she kept bemoaning the fact that all of my thoughts and bookmarks are on that old laptop. It’s taken me years of browsing research to come up with that stuff.

So I decided to take the old iBook into Simply Mac to see what it would take to fix it. If it was going to cost too much, then I would tear it down and take out the old hard drive and make it into an external hard drive so that I could access the wealth of knowledge.

It was going to be a minimum of $45. If they could fix it then the money would go towards the repairs, if not then you were out $45. I told them to let me know the amount of the damages before they fixed it.

A few days later, cs got a call to come and pick it up. It was done. They said that the start button needed to be replaced. They had done that and there would be no charge.

Say what?

This is where I was wrong — It appears that some things in life are free. (That it involved a Mac, gives it double the pleasure.)

…but then again, cs’ new laptop did cost more than a nickel or two.
