New to Mac
I have started to use Mac for my day to day work. It felt VERY strange at the beginning, as I have been a Windows/UNIX user my entire career as a software engineer. Mac? What? That used to be my response to Mac, until... hmmm... recently.
So why did I choose to use Mac?
Well, I have quite a few Mac fanatics around me. They used to always show me how cool Mac is and how easy it is to use. I guess I have seen enough of them that I felt that I should at least give it a try before I say no to it. So I did. Hmm... it was kind of hard. How do I do this? How do I do that? I know how to do them all in Windows but on Mac, I don't know! It was frustrating at the beginning, but after spending some time with it, I started to get a hang of it, and yeah, it's actually kind of neat. I like the Spotlight feature a lot, and the Expose feature is awesome! Now I have started to enjoy Mac more, and started to appreciate all other features, like cool silver body, the magnetic power cord, etc., etc. Am I getting brainwashed???
Getting to know Mac is also good for my work, as most of the products are now supported on Mac as well. I have Parallels running as well, so I can do both Mac and Windows work at the same time. This is really cool.
There are still a lot of things that I don't know how to do. I hope to resolve them little by little and share my discoveries here, or ask for help!
