Re: Not having a 'Plan B' is madness

'Apple Superfan' but seems to be in a non-technical profession. Really one with many of the general population who consider IT equipment to be white goods that should just work forever. Which might be true, it's certainly how they are sold. Why have a backup plan, it's an Apple therefore super reliable.

I'd only consider myself a minor nerd but I must have 5-6 bits of kit to being into play if my main machine went titsup. I could rejig up a Raspberry Pi as a desktop given a hour or so.

I've also got multiple generations of backups from seeing so many fuck-ups over the years.

I'd worry more about the washing machine breaking than a computer. I can't fix that fast

and with no laundrette there is no easy plan B
