OACC Post Pesentation Glow
A big thanks goes out to Dean Cleary and the other leaders at the Orange Apple Computer Club for letting me get up and present to their group. It’s nice to have such an enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, bunch of Mac users to talk with. I look forward to returning in the future.
If you’re a group member looking for the page that references everything we talked about, you can find it by clicking here.
MUG Presentation: Orange Apple Computer Club
I’ll be giving my “Mac Maintenance on a Dime” spiel at the Orange Apple Computer Club (OACC) this Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to Noon. If you’re local, why not drop on by. I need all the encouragement I can get.
The topic of the talk is all about keeping your Mac in tip-top shape and safe using free or inexpensive software, and I’ll cover such things as troubleshooting, backing up, virus protection and keeping your system lean and mean.
If you do choose to drop in, grab me afterwards and let me know you read about it here.
Good News on My Truck
The Toyota dealer called me earlier today and told me that the problem has been fixed on my truck. Woohoo! Apparently, it was as simple as the master cylinder rod being out of adjustment, which in turn caused the brakes to be continually applied to some degree. Supposedly, all other components are fine, and there wasn’t any damage to the brake pads or rotors. I don’t know, should I believe them on that? The components did get pretty hot after all.
Anyway, I hope it really is that simple, and I have no more troubles. Still, even if I wind up trouble free, I know I’m going to be stuck with a little voice in the back of my head that’ll always be listening for any click, pop, squeak or grind that’s just “not right” for as long as I own the car.
