New laptop

 My laptop was getting old and refusing to update, plus MS Word was out of date on both my laptop and desktop, sooooooooo — considering that Trump had put huge tariffs on China and Apple products are made in china and sure to become very expensive, I decided to get a new one.


Last Saturday I walked into the Apple Store and it was partially empty.
Picked out a new MacBook Pro, bought it and since I had brought my old laptop with me to the store, handed it to them to migrate my info to the new laptop.

Last Sunday, I picked up the new laptop all ready to go.  
(the store was MOBBED.  Even tho I had gotten there just a little after it opened.  Hmmmm.  Others must have decided to buy before prices went up just like me.) 

That new laptop was heavy.  Very heavy. 
Over the week, I decided it was too heavy for me to handle, so yesterday (Friday night) I brought it back to the Apple store and exchanged it for an Apple MacBook Air.  Yes, that is much lighter and I can easily carry it and since I mostly use it for writing at writing retreats or at the library or other places, it is perfect for my needs.

They did a fast job of giving me credit for my return (the Air is cheaper so I got a refund)  
and they migrated all my stuff over onto the Air and off I went.
