Second Macbook Pro, second failed hard drive. This is getting tedious.
Now, I suppose the issue here is that I’d still rather have a Macbook that fails every year than have a Windows laptop that works consistently. Windows makes me sweat and swear every day, while my expensive aluminium boxes of broken only do it once a year. That said, I think Apple should stop filling their beautiful silver boxes with shit.
This evening, I’m taking the new broken Macbook and the old broken Macbook to the new Apple shop in town. Instead of a technical support department, they have something they call a “Genius Bar”. And to access the “Genius Bar”, one must make a “Reservation” with the “Concierge”. I’m going to have to slap them when I get there. I’m also going to have to start a standing order into a savings account, so I can be ready with £1500 every 12 months, enabling me to upgrade my Macbook Pro before it breaks down each time.
Note: I do have full backups, hopefully, providing the wireless Time Capsule thing works. If it doesn’t, I’m going to take an orbital sander into the Apple shop and sully all of their shiny trinkets.
