More on my macbook....

....it has osx 10.4.11 tiger, media players won't iwork with this version. So, I need an upgrade.

Off I goes to the nearest MC shop in Reading, to eventually be acknowledged by staff.

....asked what time my appointment was. Explained I didn't have one and as far as I was aware I was standing in a high street shop, not my GP's

Explained I needed to go to Lion, but that tiger doesn't have the mac app update function, so could I purchase a disc.

Was then told that mac don't do discs, everything is online, and that to go to Lion I have to go to Snow Leopard first, but Snow Leopard is not a download.

So the upshot here is that I'll get stung twice, and also have to WAIT for SL disc to arrive first.

Shop assistant then rudely disappears to see to his 'appointments'....without providing ME as a CUSTOMER with what I want.

If I were to give further description to this abysmal level of service, it would be something along the lines of;....absolutely shite and if this is the crack I'm going off MAC's

I think I'll visit the store again, preview and test a £2,000+ G5....for my son who is doing IT at Nottingham.....then tell the sackless bstds why there won't be a sale.
