MacBook Update(s)
This morning I went and bought a replacement Power Supply Unit (Actually MagSafe Power Adapter) and so was able to power up the new MacBook.
First thing it did was predictable. It wanted me to sign up with all kinds of details in relation to the warranty, Apple's marketing needs and anything else that suits them. Like many people I rarely read the full End User Licence Agreement (EULA). Who does (apart from maybe Lawrence Lessig and the EFF)?
It then surprised me a little by downloading lots of crucial-looking updates(I'm used to this from Microsoft) and wanting to re-start.
There was then a moment of confusion (on my part) before I realised it also wanted to perform a firmware download and re-start. Now maybe this is a rarity in the world of Apple and my machine was going online for the first time since it left the factory and was in dire need of the goodies.
It will be interesting to see if this keeps happening or if things quieten down.
