I wanted to clarify some things that simsaladimbamba told me in this thread about getting a new 13" MacBook Pro and creating a Recovery DVD.
So I am not crazy about blowing 4.4 GB of my 6 GB/month data-plan with AT&T, because that equates to about $50!!!!!!!
And I find it insane to use an UN-secured Free Wi-Fi conenction (e.g. McDonalds) to try and download things.
So I called Apple today and the tech was like, "Yes you can go to an Apple store and download a copy of Mountain Lion using our bandwidth, but we have to then *install* it for you. We only offer free Recovery..."
What the hell?!
Why should they care if they download a DMG to my new, empty Seagate drive in my new MacBook Pro and give it back to me, or take even more time and do a Recovery for me?
That seems crazy, although I wouldn't expect less from an Apple Store...
Any ideas on how I might convince them otherwise, and save myself $50 of my data-plan?
I think it sucks how they hold people hostage and not let them have FULL ACCESS to an Operating System that people already bought...
Sincerely,
Debbie
