Re: old macs v newer macs
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýCheck with a Mac friendly tech what it would cost to do the RAM for you.?I go to our local Mac group monthly ¡ª the differences between the various models of newer Macs and accessibility have been a red hot topic several times ¡ª I was shocked when they had dropped out the CD burner out of Macs because its something I still use and I have software on CDs. As for not being able to install your own RAM any more in some models was also a bit of a wakeup. ?One of our members got caught with that one a while back. So don¡¯t think you are alone. Gone are the days you could confidently walk in and buy any Mac and be happy with it. They¡¯ve made them less and less get-at-able over the years. Oh for the days of the G5 Cheesegrater tower where you could install your own HD etc. I went to Earlsfield school for girls in London where I was top of the entire school and highest IQ of either boys or girls school at Earlsfield¡. then I got dragged to Australia on forged papers - did 3 grades in one year in Australia did final exam ¡. and got sent out to work by mother at age 13. My friend down the road received her new $60,000 Mac Pro Monday late. She had installed extra RAM herself and she emailed me at midnight to say it was transferring files) ¡ª it had a couple of dings in the carton would you believe. Carrier said Apple had loaded it and he never touched it till it got to her place. And the carrier and her husband unloaded it in front of her. Anyway it went all night transferring her data and at 8am yesterday the Mac Pro was still saying it had at least two hours to go to finish transfer. ?Haven¡¯t heard yet if it was ok or not. Might wander up there later and stickybeak what it looks like.? Nothing like the smell of a new Mac.?

Mine Best of year Organic Chemistry, MSc Pharmacology, Phd Organic Chemistry, NIH Postdoctoral fellow. Feel apple has, been wrong to me, but I was at a low point. You try living with Class A drug dealers, for 3 or 4 yrs. See how well you'd cope John

I did research. I always do research. I probably drive my husband mad with research before I make a decision to purchase anything in this house :-) If you hadn¡¯t cottoned on to the differences in the specifications that would be annoying. You¡¯d not be the first though.? I actually rang my fav techie before purchase and had a heart to heart about my iMac Pro prior to purchase purely because Apple has taken to putting adhesive in various positions inside and I wanted to know things could be got out and replaced if needed etc.? He was able to tell me he had had open one in front of him that week with part supplied by Apple under warranty and it was no worries at all. So I felt a bit more confident about paying $7680 for it. I would do the exact same study for any Mac any price just to know it would do what I wanted.?

I had no indication my iMac would be non-upragedable, whatsoever when I bought it. Absolutely zero on website. Why not just upgrade to a PC, run Ubuntu etc?. Apple's slowing down old iPhones & been fined for it. apple admits to slowing down old iphones?BSc
