Switching
I said I switched the other day. I lied. I’m switching. So far I’m loving it, but it is a bit of work getting everything set up. It’s not hard to get set up, actually. The hard part is transferring everything over from Windows. Somebody could make a small fortune doing this – charging whatever to help people move from one platform to another. Pay me this much, and all your e-mails, calendars, and files will be moved over. My two pet peeves so far: shouldn’t the same programs (e.g. Quicken for Windows and Quicken for Mac) be able to read the same file? Why do I have to go through all the grief of importing? Not fun. And why can’t Entourage import pst files from Outlook? It will happen, but not soon enough for me. My other pet peeve is that some software (hello, Dreamweaver) won’t allow me to upgrade to a different platform. I have Macromedia Studio MX 2004 for Windows, and I would have thought they would only charge me the upgrade price to switch to the Mac platform. Nope. If I want it, I have to pay the whole thing. This is what has kept me from making the switch earlier. I can’t find a good Bible program yet. Accordance looks okay, but no NIV? I gotta tell you, though – this thing runs nice.
