Now I need a 2 TB ext HD for Time Machine backups of this 512 GB MBA. I used to use a 650 GB partition of a 750 GB HD for Time Machine with the 128 GB MBA & used the remaining 100 GB as a clone of the system. I'll set up 1.7 GB for Time Machine & 300 GB for a clone. I reformatted the 750 Gb ext drive into a single volume to use as a temp Time Machine backup until I can get an ext drive. An office supplier has WD 2 TB drives for $109 but I hate the extra WD partition you can't get rid of. So I'll possibly get a Seagate or Toshiba drive for about $20 more.

And yes, I did key the old trollop's car door. If you can't get out of a car without causing damage to vehicles already parked then you deserve all the shit you get.

Reminds me of a time some 30 years ago when I returned to my car to find a bastard had angle-parked within 5 inches of mine. I was driving a Ford Escort window van at the time, 2016-05-02 at 17.43.jpg very like the one in the attached pic, but white & without the fancy trim. The exterior door handles protruded & were quite solid.
I climbed in via the rear cargo doors, wriggled into place behind the steering wheel and opened the driver's side door. Violently. Into the offending vehicle's passenger door, leaving a shallow dent. It wasn't a shallow dent when I left the scene, as I'd repeated the door handle application twice more, with equal force. Fixed that bugger.

Somewhat optimistically, I have my old MBA up for sale for $500 or near offer. If it doesn't sell privately, I have a guaranteed offer of $350 from the place where I got the new toy.

I've given up answering the doorbell now. It's a cordless item & is picking up interference from some other source. Goes off with no-one there. Poltergeists, perchance?

Actually worked well for a change. I got exasperated when the backup drive wouldn't show under Migration Assistant, so I booted the older MBA in target disk mode & connected it via Thunderbolt. Just a few wee niggly-naggly differences, but it's going well now.

Unless I have to do some serious video editing, for that the 2011 MBP is still better, but for most other things this will be the main one. Well pleased with it.

That's something I've been guilty of with the 2011 MBA. It barely dets 2.5 hrs on a charge yet the battery condition is reported as normal.

Now I have to check my car door for damage after a stupid old trout dinged it while getting out of her car. Moronic bitch. If there's any damage I just might inflict some to hers in revenge. Getting the key ready…….

Not Cupertino but somewhere in one of the Australian Apple Stores.
