Re: MacBook pro - OT

NOW this thread has officially gone full OT.

My Debian Squeeze laptop runs circles around the guys in the shop with
the same hardware running Windows 7. Windows 7 is great (compared to
Vista) but it is still fat.

informative opinion about MAC and Windows. I personally believe at this point
that it's self preference. Most of us have used nothing for years other than a
Windows box (myself included). So we are kind of like staying in a comfort
zone. If you can as a techie, I would suggest you familiarize yourself or buy
a MAC at some point.

opinion will you truly appreciate the technology.

let me loose. Here I was faced with this huge new network trying to understand
their DWDM, R&S, video, Voice& I couldn't use the machine I was given. To say
the list I felt super helpless/useless. Imagine your manager hyping your
competency to your team and director& you are at your desk googling how to
install a program on your machine. It was like learning the implication of
right clicking as to left clicking for the first time. I was frustrated for I
think 2 weeks as everyone mentioned. After that I got the basics down. Thank
God most of my teammates had similar experiences a year before i started. I
was begining to feel like a dorde. Today am not an expert yet but I am quick
to open my MAC instead of my personal win7 laptop. Yes I carry both everywhere
but use my MAC more. Programs like visio& others requiring explor!

on your MAC. Now that am back on my IE pursuit, I run all my labs on my MAC.

You wouldn't regret it. :)
