MY SILLY AND COSTLY MISTAKE

I am one who will always update my software, be it my phone or laptop. Just a few weeks ago I saw this update notice on my mac. As usual I will click update without even thinking.In the past I had no problem and they usually get updated to the latest version. Unfortunately this time I was not that lucky. It hang halfway due to the internet connection .It just freeze and I tried countless of time ,but could not get it to work.I even tried as a last resort to use the cd that came with the mac when I made the purchase. It was a no go, so I took it to a Mac shop , near where I stayed, but unfortunately they said they only sell the machine and do not do any service. So in desperation I search on the net and manage to find a shop at Center point, Petaling Jaya. I spoke to the guy who picked up and phone and told him my problem and requested for a quote to reinstall the system and could get it up within an hour. He was able to answer me over the phone right away and that gave me the confidence to sent my laptop to the shop.  I drove reached the shop within half an hour and found the shop with no problem. Upon checking he informed me my battery has swelled up and it will cost me another huge sum of money. I had no choice but to agreed to have it replaced. All because I did something stupid to update my machine. Anyway on the hindsight, if I had not sent my mac to the shop I would not know my battery need to be replaced,which according to him could damage my laptop.
With all my files and some softwares I had on the machine wiped out, I had to start anew and reinstall , and have to test them out one by one. But I have fund experimenting especially with the watermark applications.
