New iOS installation

While watching the three-plus hour processing of updating iTunes, then iPhone, then iPad, I was reminded of the ancient software proverb/curse:

A watched update never succeeds...

It fails at about 99.9% in...

Because the restore failed....

Because the “restore” phase had not yet completed....

Because the backup file was deleted during the “clean-up” phase in different processor thread......

Because you were using Windows (you low-life scum), and Apples don’t play nice with Windows.......

Because you were watching...... (that’s what web cams are for!)

BTW, the same holds true even if you weren’t watching, it’s just more obnoxious if you were.

BTWBTW, Macs don’t have this problem, but only if you drop a dollar into the bill-feed on the right side of the mouse, under that single button.

Never open your Apple and let the worm out.  Besides, it’s rotten to the core.  Dump.
