Converted to Mac OSX
April 17th, 2007 | Published in Uncategorized | 2 Comments
I have always been a Windows man, using a Mac occasionally, but never enough to get hooked. I’m the same with mobile phones, I always go back to the Nokia after trying and testing other mobile phone operating systems. I recently brought a Mac book with the intention of running Windows. When the Mac book arrived I installed Windows alongside OSX, but made a conscious decision to at least try OSX for a trial period… as I did buy a Mac!
I can now officially say the trial period is over and I’m still on OSX… and loving it! I had a few initial problems/worries with the change over, Nokia not writing OSX software for their connecting package for example, but this is something I got over very easily when I discovered iSync. I still can’t sync directly with entourage, as I used to do with outlook express, but I don’t think that’s the end of the world! (but if anyone can help with that I’d be grateful).

First of all you are a fool to think about paying over the odds for a machine to just run windows! Secondly vista is way better than osx and thirdly sony make loads better mobile phones than nokia; all my n73 did was crash so i swapped it for a K800i.

Well, first thing i’d recommend is DITCHING ENTOURAGE! C’mon it’s the least you could do - and may go some way to recovering your cred after that shocking admission that you bought a mac mainly intending to run windows!
Seriously, if you’re going to go the Mac route, you’d do well to rid yourself of all things microsoft. Office still has a slim lead over Open/Neo Office but that gap is closing (and M$O is still too expesnive) but other than that the only app I used to recommend on mac was MSN Messenger, but since that was discontinued, amsn is the better choice. So make the leap! Mail is superbly capable, and thunderbird is decent as well. And once you start using iSync to match up your contacts with your AddressBook - i promise you won’t look back!
