I made an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar.
I was hoping they wouldn’t give me any grief for buying my new machine at MicroCenter. But, now that I think about it, it’s actually their fault. It’s not my fault that they no longer carried the machine…
“SO DON’T GIVE ME NO STUFF!”
They didn’t.
I told them my predicament, the Genius plugged in his special gadget and 15 minutes later, I was headed back to the car with OS 10.6.8 installed.
I like Apple.
