WAITING
We have been waiting for a new shipment of iMacs to arrive at the local Apple store so that I can get a replacement for the one that blew a gasket.
I found out today that there won't be a replacement. We bought the last two and the store cannot get any more.
I will have to wait for the new model to arrive "soon", the rumor is December.
That is not great but it is better than hanging in suspense over the replacement.
A slim possibility exists that we could get one from another store or through a friend who is an officer at Apple.
But I am betting on the 2012 model.
In the meantime, I have been able to reproduce almost all my bookmarks on John's machine (in my own folder) and can use it on a regular basis.
It is mildly inconvenient but not a serious problem. The new iCloud connection that I now have allows me to work the live parts of the email and the calendar, all day long.
So it is better to know than not. For me. I am not a guy who likes doubt very much.
See? It is skinny. So I will have to go back to an outboard optical scanner (DVD).
