Friend up the road turned 100 28th Nov - invited me to his party — he has much more Mac gear than me — iwatch latest, iPad Pro (not as big capacity as mine), iMac Pro, gave MacBook air to grandkid, bought new MacBook Pro, has latest phone - knows how to work the lot.
Writing his memoirs at the moment.

We’re both retired people but I still do a little work for people in all sorts of things on my Mac.
Frankly I have never expected any help from MS or actually ever sought any - only because I have never needed it.
You can of course look at things like Open Office or Libre office as alternatives. Like pages you need to export to Word if you are sending on to people who don’t have Pages etc.
Both of them have attractive presentation on screen I think..

I buy the "home and student version” in a box from Apple shop……. you get an empty box these days with a ‘key” so its a matter of download over the web (I make a copy so I don’t have to do it again and I have it on hand).

As far as the subscription 365 — that has never been compulsory — I have never taken it on. When you installed from the boxed copy in the past it does ask you if you want that and yes it is a subscription — and even if you say no you can add it at a later date if you should require it - but in the next version that I understand it has been abandoned.

There are problems with that car - they are discontinuing it - I think I would reconsider that choice looking at what it’s problems are.

When I installed Monterey it came up and asked to do extra security to stop people tracking your ip address….and I thought ok sounds alright…. said yes. Then regretted it because what was happening was mail was in the inbox but then you could only see the sender and the message header and no body content — on the top far right a button asking if you wanted to download the rest. ?Well I got fed up of that and I did figure how to remove it.?
Nothing to do with ISP ?— it is something new with Apple in Monterey. ?Well they can shove that idea and go back to the drawing board - I just cannot be bothered.? As it is I go up on the server of my ISP and I sort the mail up there and dump junk or trash up there before I bring it down to my mail program. So I am doing my own thing in that regard.?

Mail bobbed up and wanted some extra security --- read it thought.... yeah ok -- bloody nuisance.

Bad luck, Tag! ?But I’m glad that your “new” machine is working OK. ?I’m running the same model, but I bought mine in 2020, on the never-never with Apple.
And on the subject of never-never, we’ve ordered a BMW i3 before they go out of production. ?My wife’s car is sold as a deposit and I get mil discount as well as the low interest rate (APR2.9%) to soften the blow of the massive cost. ?And the home charger will cost a fair bit as well, if we go ahead with it.

I have just had something of a fraught two weeks on the Mac front!

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.?

Re: Lots of updating this morning
Putting iMac Pro forward to Monterey sort of did the same thing - download then said ready to install. No sooner did that than it’s talking update again. And it gave some thing about securing email -which I did ?but then that means I get bare email and have to ask it to download. I’m going to try to remove that. It’s a nuisance. I’ve taken to going up to iSP server and sorting up there before it comes to my inbox on the Mac.?

Lots of updating this morning
I brought my Mac forward to Monterey yesterday and it went ok, ?and already there is an update. Been doing two iphones and iPad updates as well. Drives me nuts.?

Yes, we used to have a very good local man when we lived in Swindon, who told us that he could not afford to offer a service contract and that only BG could do that. They come and service the boiler every year and we shall obviously be keeping a closer eye on them after this. Best

Oh, wow, Jude, what a pain! We’ve had a new valve in our gas boiler in the house; we have a monthly contract with British Gas for servicing and their fellas failed to fix the valve on several previous occasions, so when at last it did get fixed thanks to some?info?retained by Harvey, and they tried to bill us the excess, we said No! And they eventually agreed.Best? Susan I'm not happy with 2022 -- the pool filter has blown its stack and there goes $2000 to fix, and I think the fridge is starting to fail and I discovered there is a world wide shortage of fridges!!
Apart from that all good down here. ?I am still awaiting consult with an immunologist as to whether I can have vax or not. My poor opthalmologist suffered rather badly with Pfizer vax. First one a giant headache. Second one put him in bed for a fortnight and still not well, and he's even talking retirement. ?So I may lose yet another opthalmologist.
But we're still here to talk about it, and I have the iPad Pro to play with. I installed Paprika and been converting a stack of printed recipes into its database.
Hope you've made a good start to the year !?
Regards

I bought version2 of the pen - never bothered with the Smart Keyboard thing. Apple’s prices getting a bit ridiculous - they make heaps - about time they gave a bit back to consumers.?

But here’s to a happier year overall. ?I plan to get myself a iPad Pro to replace my 2019 Air, but the keyboard adds a bit of a sting to the price – perhaps I don’t need one . . .
Happy New Year to all.
