Holy Crap!
Apple is amazing. Seriously.
When I went in to the Apple Store, my "genius" copied my entire old disk to an external drive. When I got home with the repaired computer, it asked me if I had another computer I wanted to transfer my files from, then it copied everything from the external drive...right back onto my new disk.
My desktop and all my files are exactly the way I left them. Same custom desktop picture, same custom icons...apparently, everything.
I'm impressed.
No weird wonky reconfiguring necessary. I got right online when I launched Firefox, and all my mail showed up when I opened Apple mail.
Just like nothing ever happened.
Whew!
What a week...

OS X is basically the best GUI built on top of UNIX, and UNIX will run underwater.

ReplyDeleteIM & Larry...thanks. I missed you too!
Van....funniest welcome back ever!
(I wasn't implying anything about PC's, honest! I was just being happy I didn't have to reconfigure anything that I completely forget how to do after 3 years.
The router, for example, which I use as a secondary, hardware firewall came with a simple CD for installation...on a PC. I had to do some manual dealio to make it work with the Mac. And I originally had to call the manufacturer to find out what.
That happens a lot with Macs.
So don't feel TOO bad. The world is set up for you PC guys!)
Gunslinger,
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back. Although I don't always agree with all your stuff, I enjoy reading it anyway. So lets hear it for the Genius Nerds! I totally love them.
Mac's are so cool, and anyone who thinks otherwise simply has no taste or style! LOL
Life is Short but Wide.
Good to have you back full time Gunslinger. You were badly missed.
ReplyDeleteBlue Eyed Blonde, thanks - and, yes. I now have a great appreciation for the customer service at Apple Store...IT ACTUALLY EXISTS!
ReplyDeleteSix. It's good to be back. Thanks. That's the first time I've ever "lost" a computer. And it's no fun.
Especially when you're one of "those guys" who never backed up anything.
I was SO lucky. And, yes, I'll do it regularly from now on!
