[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1949374, member: 190607"] YES! This ^^ I got an e-mail just this week from a Macintosh-using attorney who got a bunch of advice from an expensive law firm computer consultant. But this attorney was confused, because the advice was contrary to stuff that he had heard before. It turns out that this consultant knew just about nothing about the Macintosh, and much of his advice was sincerely and profoundly wrong. Which brings me to something that I've told folks on various forums a bunch of times: ONLY GET YOUR MACINTOSH ADVICE FROM MACINTOSH EXPERTS (and, yes, I'm shouting!) ;) If you get your advice from folks who aren't Macintosh experts, not only is that advice likely to be wrong, but it's likely to be very confusing and possibly even expensive or dangerous. While Windows may LOOK very similar to the Macintosh, underneath, and in a bunch of other ways, it is quite a bit different. Windows experts are usually not Macintosh experts. DON'T get your Macintosh advice from the radio program The Kim Komando Show, from PCWorld, from your local store that sells Windows computers, from Windows consultants, or, worst of all, your buddy who uses a Windows computer. Way more often than not, they don't know what they are talking about when it comes to the Macintosh. [/QUOTE]
