So, I’m doing a little research as to whether it’s OK to use Helen’s MacBook’s 60W power adaptor with my MacBook Pro (which generally requires an 85W adaptor, but it seems to be charging OK?), when I find a blog post about how to use the mag-safe adaptor.
Seriously, a body of writing complete with pictures detailing the intricacies of plugging it in to the wall, plugging it into the mac, swapping the plug head for another plug head or indeed, if you can imagine it, the extension cord.
Intrigued, I read further. Seems this fellow has a rather unique take on how-to blogs, with articles ranging from the possibly-obvious how to style your hair with wax, to the geeky how to apply thermal paste to a P4 chip, not forgetting the puzzling how to use post-it notes.
Seriously, post-it notes.
I wonder if I will ever meet the man who needed to have the concept of the post-it note explained to him, despite being able to command both computer and google with prowess enough to locate the explanation. He will have my pity, my derision, and my sincere hopes that he never finds a how-to for reproduction.
Does it say anywhere in this research “not when Helen is using it”? =D
“It miraculously took me 10 minutes to figure out on how to use the power adapter. It must be my luck and I thank god I didn’t broke [sic] it the first time I use it.”
I think that says a lot? Anyone needing more than thirty seconds to put a plug into a socket should not be allowed anywhere near 230V of A.C., let alone a MacBook!
