I’ve discovered fabulous tools for managing the massive amount of data and communication related to a wide variety of projects that can be integrated with one another. While the latest operating system released from Apple, Leopard, and the ingenious MacBook Air are absolutely drool-worthy, I’m now finally comfortable living my life in a Microsoft world. But it was an ongoing frustration with being locked out of innovative 3rd party software, difficulties with or lack of access to online services, and discontinued editions or support for Mac versions of programs such as QuickBooks, that finally convinced me to cross-over to what Mac users have long regarded as the dark side: Windows. Macs are a pleasure to use, and every new release of hardware, operating system or software inspires lust and longing, as well as mourning for a certain sexiness that my tech life now lacks. From my first experience with an Apple II in the late 1980s until my first PC two years ago, I used Macintosh computers with love and appreciation for their intuitive interface, solid performance and great design.
