New Apple OS - Oh Boy!


Apple has released a new operating system called OS X Mavericks.
BEFORE you update your MacBook, you should backup your MacBook using the Time Machine function.
Many of you have been doing this all along, because it just makes good sense to have a copy of your "stuff' in case your computer crashes, dies, gets damaged or is lost.
You want to have an external hard drive of at least 320 GB (I use one that is 1TB) and run Time Machine at least once a week. If you haven't been doing this, the new software release of OS X Mavericks is a perfect time to start.
HOWEVER, my advice (after years of seeing new updates come from Apple and Microsoft) is to wait a few days before you update. Let other folks around the world be the Guinea pigs, in case the software has problems.
Good luck and good computing!

So,

you broke your MacBook and now you are sad. We used to say 'Take it to The Core", but not now.

Take it to:


615 Queen city Blvd
Tuscaloosa AL 35401
205-342-2422


They were always the ones who did the repair work for The Core, so nothing has really changed, except now YOU have to schlep it down to them, as opposed to The Core sending it.
