I applied 10.4.6 upgrade using the 10.5.6 Combo Updater download from Apple support. So far I haven’t discovered anything broken. BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST!! BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST!!

| This was very funny yet somehow poignant MAPPLE” episode where Lisa is enthralled by the new “Mapple Store” in the Springfield mall. Some pretty funny satirical shots at the store experience. Lisa - visiting Steve Mobs in an undersea lab (after getting a $1200 bill) asks “can I return the 1200 Mytunes songs I bought?” Steve Mobs says, “No Refunds!” I wonder who Apple pissed off on the Simpsons writing team? The real fun is that each commercial break featured an Apple ad. I suppose Apple has a sense of humor. At least I hope they do. The cartoon really takes some satirical jabs at how the Apple stores might be perceived, or least the inference, anyway. |

My MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz was sporadically displaying distorted video.
According to this note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
it seems some of these models have a flawed video board. Apple is fixing it free within the first two years of purchase.
I went to the Apple Store at The Falls on Sunday, the repair center received it five days later (!) and I received my laptop via mail today, Wednesday the 26th. Turnaround time equals 10 days.
One important lesson was that I took photos of my screen each time it happened to document the problem. Of couse, it wasn’t doing it when I went to the Apple Store and that’s what I showed them as proof of the problem. I also printed out the tech note linked above so they would know right away that although my computer was out of warranty the note states that the warranty for this issue was extended to two years.

However, since my wife’s serious illness in 2006, I have been unable to attend but I continue renewing my dues to support this wonderful organization. I think the GCMAC Users Group is a must for anyone with a Mac. In fact, it’s a must for anyone with a computer.
Rey we miss you too, and we wish your wife well. And you know that for anyone like you who is unable to attend meetings, for work/life scheduling reasons, distance reasons, age reasons or being a full time caregiver as you are, questions can be answered on the list serv and you don’t need to feel
isolated. I know you don’t need to be told this, you are not a shy guy, Rey LOL.
It is not a requirement of GCM that you are a member to be on the Listserv. BUT I do encourage anyone that is on the list server and that is not acurrent member, if you have received personal help, or have benefited from reading other people’s questions. Or you just feel it’s a useful service.
Please follow Rey’s lead,
PLEASE JOIN US, pay the $50 membership.
All of us are volunteers, membership dues pay for our wonderful Museum of Science meeting place, equipment needed for demos, telephone hotline, website costs, office supplies and so on.
At the meeting the other night, I heard someone who has been around us a long time, and the Mac is central to his life and work, make the comment that he “can’t afford the membership”. Come on. $50 a year? Skip a dinner for two once a year and JOIN!
