Dr. Digit Did you miss Part 1?

Last week I talked about what drove me to get a MacBook.  This week I will tell you how a Windows guy is adjusting to the Mac.  Granted I have a long-standing PC bias, so there are some things I want to carry over from my PC experience.  But I am willing to be flexible if the rewards are worth it.

The first thing I hated was not having a right mouse button.  The woman who helped me at the Mac Store actually solved this for me.  She showed me just where to go in Keyboard and Mouse System Preferences to set up the secondary button.  Presto!  not only do I have a right mouse button, but almost all of the programs have context menus (the litle pop-up menus you see in Windows when you right click) on the Mac!  Mission #1 accomplished.

I've been a PC guy since the beginning.  I didn't like Apples, because in their quest to make everything easy for users, they assumed I was an idiot, preventing me from doing many of the things I want to do on a computer.  I have to say that the evangelistic self-righteous zeal of many Apple users also turned me off.  But the bottom line was that I just didn't like using them.

I love my current PC.  It is a fast, powerful beast with plenty of memory and storage.  It runs Windows XP Media Center edition, and it does everyting I want it to.  The fans are getting noisy, though, and I wonder if other parts may go.  So I have started thinking about my next computer, and strangely it is a Mac.

Put Your Business Succession Plans in Order Print Recommend This Article to a Friend

Image If you own a small business, you probably laugh at the notion of a "9 to 5" workday. Unfortunately, many small-business owners work so hard, and are so focused on the "here and now"- increasing sales, controlling costs, attracting new customers, etc. - that they forget to plan for their own retirement and for the fate of their business.

Don't make those mistakes. No matter how hectic your schedule, take the time to set up a retirement plan for yourself and a succession plan for your business.
