hi guys,
i'm totally thrilled to report that i've completed exactly 9 months on my mac .. perhaps the loveliest time i've had computing after being close to 19 years on a PC ..
I'll try to be brief but honestly i'm having difficulty stopping myself..
I primarily use my computer for business - so it was genuinely very difficult to switch - took me a very long time. Fear that i might not be able to be on top of my work - held me back for quite some time. I finally switched last Aug.
1. The OS .. omg ... everything has been designed with just 1 thing in mind .. maximum productivity to the user in the most simplest of ways. Its a joy to work on a Mac.
2. Keyboard shortcuts - - in my earlier posts, i went around asking if there are enough keyboard shortcuts on a Mac!! Later on, i was actually asking - "how do you remember so many keyboard shortcuts"!!!
3. Mail vs Outlook - with all respect to Outlook, i think Mac Mail is way superior (for me .. at least). No offence to anybody who feels otherwise. I love the simplicity ... the speed.
4. Programs
a GTD - i'm spoilt for choice between THINGS and THE HIT LIST ... never worked with anything so beautiful before..
b. Notes - Circus Ponies ... wow ... another winner for me..
c. 2 days back i landed upon isoftphone - i travel 3 days a week so its a FANTASTIC addition to my collection.
5. Photos - for my personal photo collection, i think iPhoto is simply the best thing i've come across - a very simple and elegant way to manage my entire collection of personal photographs and short videos.
6. 2 things that i simply cannot get over :-
a The ability to do calculations in spotlight ..!!! I've been caught on innumerous occasions trying to locate a calculator while on phone with a client. No more ... its there with me all the time.
b The speed of boot up and shut down ... i'm saving anywhere between 3 to 5 minutes per shutdown /restart ...
i'm sure this post could be much longer ... but for now i'll just sign off saying "THANK YOU MR.JOBS" - u absolutely rock.
And a huge thank you to all the members in this forum for all the help that i've got from reading the posts.
