Ahhh...
That's better. It's nice to be back!
Back to my customary blogging pose, that is. Slouched on the couch with MacBook Pro. Due to this happening for the second time to my magsafe power adapter, I've been Macless for over a week.
Jane and I have got used to being a two-CPU family, and sharing the single desktop has been a real trial.Â
The trouble is that Magsafe connectors don't grow on trees, and as my second one was out of warranty I had to buy a replacement. I ordered one from Apple, which arrived mid-week. It was then I discovered that Apple make two different types of MacBook Magsafe connectors: one for MacBooks, and one for MacBook Pros.
Guess which one I'd bought. Clue: It's now winging its way back to Apple.
The "funny" thing is that the lady who served me today in the Apple shop in Cambridge was also unaware of this fact. If I hadn't already been tripped up once, I would have walked out of the shop with a completely unsuitable piece of kit, despite carefully describing to her what model of Mac I was using, and even the wattage of adapter I required.
Anyway, no harm done! Well, apart from the boring blog entry you've had to suffer. ;-)
