My MacBook’s back. I got it back that same evening after I sent it off in the morning with my hubby to the authorized service provider. Guess what was wrong with it? Nothing. [Insert sheepish grin] If I had applied my iPhone knowledge to my MacBook and forced a shutdown by simply holding down the… Continue reading Laptop bag…er, sleeve

Have bag. Will travel. Almost.
