That worked out well. To avoid a clash with a committee meeting & a volunteer charity food parcel delivery next week, I rescheduled it by swapping delivery dates with another volunteer. Just got the call from the society member who I'd have assisted, she said there were no clients requiring help tonight. So that's it for that mob until just before Christmas.
Friend bought his wife a new 21.5-inch iMac. It was horribly slow & sometimes wouldn't restart. He took it back & it failed the hardware test, so he got a refund. Having had his fingers burned, so to speak, he bought a 27-in 5k iMac with a Fusion drive instead. This one works fine. Exceptionally fast, his wife is mighty happy with it.
Emergency services iOS app updated. It wanted a new password, existing one was no good. Had to have at least 6 characters, a combination of uppercase, lowercase & numbers.
Unimpressed, I chose "Wank123."
Just received an email telling me that Thursday night's planned Mac User Group satellite meeting in an outer suburb has been cancelled due to the venue being closed due to a major sewage failure. The building owned by the municipal council and their own health inspectors have closed it pending cleanup. A relief, in a way. I'd been asked to stand in & do a presentation on backing up Macs & iOS thingies.
The person who was supposed to do it was attacked by a dog & has only just come out of hospital.
The Group's President has circulated a PDF via email, the BBS & website. The PDF explains about the sewage problem & I'm not sure she's realised the punnistic nature of the chosen filename "What a Bummer."
So you've had white presidents, a black president and now an orange one. I'm crossing my fingers for the Hulk next time around.
