@hybotics Very true re fine cheese pricing. I am very impressed with the Manchego variety, it's become a 'firm' favourite.

It’s not something to do when sober.
My friends with their new iMac wanted to know what other hardware they needed & I recommended a Toshiba Canvio 2 TB USB 3 ext HD to use for Time Machine backups. They bought their copy of Office for Mac in one particular store & were then headed to the place that sells the suggested HD when the salesperson browbeat them into buying a piece-of-shit WD Elements HD.
The side of the box said that it had to be reformatted from NTFS to suit a Mac but when I tried Disk Utility it would not erase or partition the drive, popping up an error claiming some guff about insufficient space.
Whereas the Toshiba drive is sensed by Time Machine and the user is asked if they want it used for backups. They click OK & the Mac reformats it to suit.
The salesperson claimed the WD drive was "exactly the same as" the desired Toshiba unit; a claim I refuted most vehemently as did their son who phoned them while I was onsite.
So they're going to return the junk, get a refund & buy the right one at the other store & save $10 on the deal.
New Mac user friend bought Office for Mac 2016 Home & Student edition in the form of a card with installation/download instructions & a 25-character code to be entered in the relevant filed while logged into their Microsoft account.
Followed said instructions: was told the 25 character code didn't match any products & to follow one hyperlink if the software to be downloaded was Office 2007, 2010 or 2011 for Mac & another link if dealing with Office 365. No mention at all of Office 2-16 for Mac.
So we followed up the 2nd option of going through office support website.
The page opened, recognised the product concerned as Office for Mac 2016 & showed a download button. Too many mis-steps & hoops to jump through. In the end, though, the suite got installed.
@streakmachine It ain't cheap. I've been using it since version 3, on Panther (OS 10.3) and each time an upgrade to a new version was announced existing users/licencees got to upgrade at a 50% discount. Even then, it was US$72 to do so in the form of a 1.85 GB USB flash drive.
I upgraded 4 Mac from 10.13.1 to 10.13.2 today. Three iMacs & a MBA were done. Two iMacs have HDs & the third a Fusion drive. The MBA, with an SSD had been converted to the new APFS structure while the iMacs had not.
The MBA completed its update in about 8 minutes, the others took around 35 minutes. I'm inclined to think this is a benefit of the APFS.
Updated the MBA to macOS 10.13.2 the connected a USB drive in order to transfer the updater to the iMac.
Up popped a warning that the system was unable to repair the attached drive.
I tried copying the updater to the drive anyway but copying was impossible.
Fired up DiskWarrior which found heaps of problems with the directory. So I replaced said directory with the new one that DiskWarrior has created.
All fixed: can now copy to that ext drive.
@indigo More fool you, then. I wipe my hands of your pathetic intransigence!
You cannot hide from the might & power of Google, you might as well embrace the devil you do know.
