12. Don't laugh too much. I gave this MacBookPro back to my daughter to return.

It was 5 days shy of the guarantee. I'm not sure what happened but she went back to the store where she bought it and after a bunch of calls to me for sign-in info, they deleted me and(I hope) credited her with the purchase.

I bough one of the books suggested by a fellow DU'er but that was no help to me. I'm sure the book was great but this old brain could not absorb most of it. The final straw was my attempt to write a document. Holy Moses, I could not figure it out. I mentioned it to my daughter and she is upset with me as it was a gift. She picked it up to return, I assumed she would lose $$ when returning it so I enclosed some $$ in a envelope to cover any loss. Now she is mad because I did that and sent the $$ back to me.

I could not win, no matter what I did. A total of 6 hours(4 times) on the phone w/Apple. Still a "no-go". I'll admit that they were very nice but I guess I'm just too old for this.
My regular computer Guru is coming Friday to check on my desktop and install Windows 10 on my old laptop. I'll be glad when I can toss all my Apple notes and plod along with this old machine--or the other one and hope my daughter forgives me for returning the MacBookPro.
Too much for me.

Sometimes you can't win.
