I did it [View all]

I jumped off the deep end and bought a new Mac Mini. It was supposed to come loaded with Mavericks and iWork. It didn't. So I've been downloading first, an upgrade to Mountain Lion, then Mavericks and then I have to download iWorks. Grrrr. I don't have the fastest connection in the world so this is taking forever.

Then, I have to go buy another cable to migrate files from my old Mini because none of the 105 cables I have are the right one. Double grrrr.
