This morning I took my Mac into Westworld computers to see if they can figure out why it is so slow. It was under AppleCare so I didn’t expect it to cost anything. But apparently that only applies if they find something wrong with it. If everything works, it does cost money.
The only thing wrong is that it doesn’t have enough memory to handle the latest OS. One memory upgrade later and it’s moving along quite well. There were two problems with this whole operation though.

1. I thought Apple had moved past this, but to upgrade memory on an iBook requires taking out one of the 128mb memory cards and replacing it with a bigger one. Now I have a spare 128mb memory card that isn’t doing anyone any good. In other words, to upgrade memory requires tossing old memory.
2. I looked through the recently opened files on my Mac. The last few files opened were thumbnails of pictures I’ve taken. Including those from my recent vacation to Jamaica. My VERY GOOD vacation. So I feel like my privacy was invaded. I complained, but there isn’t much that can be done. I don’t want someone losing their job over this, and I’m not that offended, but I don’t want it to happen again.
