I am inching forward in my "set up the new Mac" project. I solved one problem, by buying a new cable. The other is more intractable.  I won't bother people with the details. Suffice it to say that I have spent much of the afternoon on the phone to the Apple Care people. They certainly care about whether I have a great day or not, as they keep asking me to do so.  

My technical challenge flummoxed the first, most charming, person I spoke to who then went on to have her own great day after passing me to her supervisor. After much going and froing, we are now trying reindexing. He thinks it will work. I don't. He is now off having a great day whilst I watch the computer and wait. I expect I'll be ringing him again tomorrow.
