Well Friday the 13th has certainly lived up to it's reputation Don't ask.
My question is this: after a recent panic when my laptop crashed forever (RIP Sony Vaio No 1) I took Niddy's advice and backed up everything on an external hard drive from John Lewis costing £59.95 for 320 GBs (whatever that means)
Now PC No 2 is acting up and I fear another computer death on my hands over the weekend
Can I take my external hard drive round to my daughter house and plug it into her MAC Book Air Thin (fancy pants) laptop? Will it work? Can I then access my documents and (crucially) send/update/alter WORD documents even if she hasn't got WORD on her machine?
Yours sincerely,
I know F**k all about IT
