I’ve got a desktop and a laptop Mac, and I’ve come to take it for granted how well they work together. Knowing that if something goes wrong all I need to do is make an appointment and stop by my local Apple Store is a big deal to me. I would hate to think that if something broke on one of my Macs that I’d have to call someone or send my Mac into a “warranty center” of some sort. It is also weird to list this, since I have never, not once, had to use the Genius Bar. And why not? There is a reason people buy good-looking cars when an ugly box will do. But when I look at the new iMacs or the MacBook Pros I know I like what I see. I’d like to think that I am all about function over form. And in many sectors, like productivity, there are so many competing programs that it is hard to figure out which one is the best. There is something for almost every need. Just browse the software directory at Apple’s site or search. There is a thriving Mac development community that continues to produce cutting-edge cool software. iMovie and GarageBand, for free? What a deal. And then there was a time when such software to too simple: SimpleText/NotePad versus TextEdit.īut then you also get iLife with every new Mac. Maybe this is because I remember a time when computers came “empty” with no software on them at all. Every new Mac comes with things like TextEdit, iCal, Address Book, iTunes, Safari, Preview, and so on. One of the main reasons switchers have trouble with mac software is that they are looking for a complex answer when there is a simple one: drag and drop, click once, or a logical menu choice. By extension, most third-party developers have followed suit and their programs work the same way. You can “click on the pretty buttons” to figure things out very quickly. Mac OS X and Apple’s applications let you do that. But since I get asked occasionally for specific reasons, here is a good top-ten list. It isn’t hard to name a lot of reasons why I have loved Macs for a long time. Apple has been giving some love to the Mac again, so I thought I would too.
