I have just had something of a fraught two weeks on the Mac front! I have just purchased a ?refurb 27in Retina 5k 3.7 GHz – which I am very pleased with - certainly very fast!

?I had no trouble with Mail - but Micro$oft Office was a pain in the fundament cos it would not cross over. I got on to MS to get some help and got as far as unlicencing my old machine - but the given that I had not yet set up mail I was left with no email! Their ‘help’ as as much use as a chocolate fireguard!. I set up mail which is now working fine, but I haven ?filed MS under Foxtrot Oscar! Will never touch again and certainly not gonna pay a monthly fee.

?I wiped my old 27in 2013 machine and set up ready for use by the new owner and sent it off to Macback after getting a quote of just under 300 sons for my old machine. ?They then contacted me with a revised quote of ?17.00 and told me that the GPU was failed. This must have happened in transit although I was suspicious cos it was absolutely fine when it left here. Anyway they returned it no problem and indeed the GPU was dufff - so 300 squid down the Swannee….sigh.

Anyway new machine is fine so just have to put it down to ‘one of those things’. ?More p1ssed off with MS Office than anything else!

Mail was no problem at all (never had Jude’s problem) and I think I am better off with just Apple products. Have actually got Word working again no thanks to MS.?
