Oh good...

cavillas · Jan 06, 2012, 16:31:43

Can't wait

Rik · Jan 06, 2012, 16:46:28

Makes you want to buy a Mac, doesn't it, Alf.

Glenn · Jan 06, 2012, 16:48:34

They still need patching http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338

Rik · Jan 06, 2012, 16:50:39

We never had these problems with the BBC Micro.

Glenn · Jan 06, 2012, 16:52:38

Get it out of the loft and start using it again.

Rik · Jan 06, 2012, 17:48:54

I'm tempted.

Lol. I don't think a week of (Patch) Tuesdays would make me do that!

PS, nothing against a Mac, just the "shoe does not fit" in this case.

Rik · Jan 06, 2012, 17:55:33

Have you tried loosening the laces, Ben?

I think Apple have gone into hibernation I've not had an update offered for a long time. I think they exhausted themselves over iCloud , IOS5 and iTunes updates.

Rik · Jan 06, 2012, 18:36:49

Or their users...

Den · Jan 07, 2012, 15:24:33

I have nothing against Apple, only the stupid prices.

So you don't like something about Apple you mean. A high end laptop from Sony costs as much as an iMac, Den.

Please, not another platform war guys.

What's wrong with platform shoes?

Rik · Jan 10, 2012, 11:07:47

They break your ankles when you trip.

That's taking it a bit far don't you think Rik?

Next you'll be saying we should all buy from Donald Russell rather than our local butcher, oh wait....

Rik · Jan 10, 2012, 16:00:43

My GP is a fan too.

pctech · Jan 10, 2012, 16:07:23

Have you asked whether they are considering flotation and whether you could buy shares?

Rik · Jan 10, 2012, 16:09:18

They aren't, but I've put my name now just in case.

mervl · Jan 15, 2012, 23:35:58

Is anyone else finding as I do that either:
1. if the patch install completes then following the required rebooting the PC hangs and needs rebooting again; or
2. only half of them install, the rest won't complete manually but then do so in one or two automatic phases over the following month, or months.

Or do you like well-trained ~~dogs~~ Windows users blame my other software!!

Simon · Jan 15, 2012, 23:41:52

Mine seems to have installed fine.

Rik · Jan 16, 2012, 09:45:37

All mine, across 5 machines and three Windows versions installed without a hitch.
