I'm really hoping that our low population density will mean we get a better service than other suburbs have got. But I guess only time will tell.

Here is an Apple Mac tip to help you access different versions of OS X.
You've probably noticed that every year Apple release a new version of their operating system OS X. Well usually I'm not ready to update my system at the same time that Apple releases it.
If the next year rolls around and they release the next version of OS X, last years version will no longer be available to you. Read on to find out how to get around this and access previous versions of OS X.

My pro tip for you is to always download Apple's latest OS soon after they release it. You don't need to install it right away or even ever. But this way when you login with your apple ID you will always be able to access each and every version of OS X that you previously downloaded.
Apple will allow you to download the current or latest version only. The exception is that they will let you download any versions you have previously downloaded.
The only way to access older versions of OS X if you didn't download them is to find a friend that did.
