Charlotte:
My wife’s MBA, with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD arrived just minutes ago. Her old MBA is upstairs in her office. Currently, I’m busy with an international global health conference (all virtual this year), which ties up my time this week. I’m eager to migrate her data from the old to the new laptop, so will have to steal some playtime to work on her laptop.
I might have to give myself an account on her new MBA, you know, just so that I can service it as needed, as well as to extend coverage from my MS 365 and CrashPlan accounts.
Alas, the burdens of a resident tech.
