Getting ready to leave for Vegas, I started the needed file transfer from my main computer to my laptop. Distracted for only a few moments, I turned back around to type on the laptop and noticed it was rocking — like not on a flat surface. I figured the cord was under the corner or something silly like that — but no! The laptop was bulging. Seriously, you guys, I thought at any second keys were going to start popping off and hitting me in the forehead.
The genius at the Apple Store diagnosed the Mac Air — a bulged battery that had squeezed out all the important components and rendered it useless. Wonderful! The good news is they are paying for the repair. That’s great, but my problem still not solved (I have to work!), I purchased a MacBook Pro and will likely spend all day tomorrow getting it set-up and ready. (Like I have time for THAT!)
I know I’m getting older and I may not “get it” when it comes to a lot of things. I do “get” business pretty much and I understand that Apple wants to be innovative and “HIP”. That’s awesome. But the Apple Store at the Oxmoor Center in L’ville? I’m sure glad it was daylight! Scary!
When exactly did it become “hip” to go to work when it’s 39 degrees outside in a pair of flip-flops??? Out of at least 10 unbathed people with holes in their ears big enough for me to put my thumb through walking around with iPads — I still couldn’t get service! It took me over 30 minutes just to PAY for the laptop I had already chosen.
I’m fine with tattoos. I really don’t mind piercings (even the huge ring in the dude’s nose behind the genius bar). But…
The woman wearing the bulky sweater doesn’t look thrilled with her experience either. Heh.
