At 4:46 this afternoon mrs. monochrome's MacBook had a catastrophic meltdown. I made a Genius appointment at the Apple Store and a reservation for dinner.
The Genius described her device as 'elderly' and 'vintage' - something about a swelled battery. Can't be repaired at the Apple Store (MacHQ maybe), but they'll 'Green Recycle' it for her.
mrs. monochrome now has a new 15" MacBook Pro, 1Tb, optical Superdrive, they're transferring data from her Passport as I type . . . . . and I have $00.00 PayPal balance.
Oh well. I really didn't want a FF this year anyway.
[EDIT: I helped mrs. monochrome connect to our Wi-Fi and now she is a happy camper.
And so is monochrome.
