After a few days of trying to sort out two email accounts on my laptop (server details changed, but now laptop won't accept the email settings) I've given up and talked to someone I know here that is a Mac tech!
He was going to do it remotely but I can't download the remote access thing as the OS is too old!!
Apparently my Macbook hasn't updated for about 3 years
Anyway, he's going to sort it but - this is a wrench - he needs to keep the laptop for a day or two
I don't think I've ever been without it for that long since I go it in 5.5 years!!
BUT - he's going to give it some much needed TLC. Clear off stuff that shouldn't be there, upgrade the OS, sort out the emails and generally do good
AND he said (despite Olly's comments!) that I've got "a fairly good machine" - which, given its nearly 6 years old, I'm quite happy about!! LOL And this is the first time it will have technical tlc in its lifetime!!
I was told that a Windows machine at 9 years old was way better and didn't spazz out with server changes - turns out the 9 year old window machine is basically Triggers Broom!! LOL Whereas my Macbook is original!
Always makes me laugh at the division between liking Apple stuff or Windows/Android. My geeky/techy friends that don't like Apple always say things like "but you can't do X, Y or Z with it so what's the point!!"
For me, I don't want to do X, Y or Z and happy that I can't!! Makes it more simple!! LOL
AND - I found a bayonet lightbulb in a shop up here
I've been without one of the main lights since Saturday as the two shops in my bit of resort only have screw ins. Went to another bit of resort today and a friend popped into the shop - so I had a look and damn if they didn't have the bayonet one! I now have my light back!!!
