I deleted Disk Utility.app for OS 10.8 from my dads laptop because his operating system is OS 10.6 so the 10.8 utility didn't work. I then showed him, in a patronising manor, where to find disk utility for 10.6. it was in the utilities folder.

where did he get the 10.8 utility!?

How do you play downloaded mp3 files directly on an ipad? I don't have one to check so I suggested doing it through his computer which was deemed too complicated.

I mean downloading them through the ipad browser and immediately playing them.

my extremely difficult grandmother needs a new computer but she's used pcs her whole life and there's no way she's learning to use a mac this late in the game


plus she's an incredibly bitter and generally kinda awful person. if we buy her a computer, it will be the wrong computer with all kinds of problems and made in china crap no matter what. this makes it really hard when all she will accept is a Pc which actually will be terrible and crap no matter what.
