Great Charles. Thanks. I've just sent your message through to my
sister - whether she calls or not will be up to her, but a great option.
Cheers, Steven

Any wamuggers out there in or near Forrestfield who would be happy
to give my sister a hand with her MacBook, which has suddenly
developed the blue folder / question mark at start up? I understand
it's an indication of hard disk failure, but I think the first step
is to boot the machine up with the start up disk and have Disk
Utility check the HD and maybe even fix it.
Trouble is, my sister is a very basic user - knows how to check
email and use FaceBook and that's about it - booting up with a
start up disk is just not something that she's going to be able to
do, even with explicit direction over phone. Unfortunately I'm not
in the state and can't help, and all the people she knows are basic
windows users. I'm afraid she's going to get frustrated, and in
despair follow the advice of her mates and, heaven forbid, buy a
windows machine!
Anyway, if no-one is local no prob, she'll just have to try her
luck with an Apple service centre - just trying to save her a who-
knows-how-long delay, and steep Apple repair fees. She's getting
Facebook-withdrawal-symptoms already. If it does need to go down
the service centre path, happy for any recommendations in this
regard, nearest Forrestfield.
Cheers, Steven

Hello Steven,
You can have her telephone 92747111 in Midland for a quick free
check - open on Tuesday.
Repairs are also quite economical.
