It was getting that time again, all my virus software was expiring or pretending to expire and I was feeling a deep seated anxiety, no hard drive back up. My hard drive now has 2-3 years of documents for our condo development that could safely be called "intellectual property". And sure enough last Tuesday, there it all went... down into the black hole of DOS confusion and weird re-boot commands that of course I couldn't do. Amazingly my computer guru brother made the emergency trip and was able to save and back up my hard drive as it was a "motherboard failure". With a convenient business cash infusion in the works I said set me up, what would you do? Get an Apple....
So days later I am the proud owner of an iMac with a fancy 20" screen from a good deal off Craig's list. I have been slowly transferring and setting up files and I love this computer!! I can't believe how much extra garbage I lived with in the Windows world for no reason. I need what I need to work and work well and now I have it! The last thing I am waiting for is a dedicated continual back-up system and I will be all set!!
Thanks to my brother Erik and the Apple world, which has been creating what people really want we all just didn't know it.
Hey, I've been thinking about switching over. Have you had any problems switching over Word/Excel type files? I'm just concerned about being compatible to companies I might consult for.
Sorry -- you may receive these random queries as I peruse your blog. I haven't read it for a long time.
