<p>So I misjudged the advisor. She actually -did- ask for proof for the laptop being sent into Apple, and he said they did not provide him with anything. Her husband is familiar with Apple products, so she wanted to help him try to recover the lost files. Now he’s frustrated with both of us for saying that Apple may be able provide some sort of documentation of having work done on his laptop what exactly was done on his laptop. I also suggested that he just ask the last intern to get her completed part of the project, so he only has to start on his part from scratch, rather than starting the whole project over. He didn’t like my suggestion. Oh well.</p>
<p>On the upside, as long as he can do something and pass it on to the last intern, this will all be over by the end of next week.</p>
