Resistance is futile!

[apple%20logo.jpg] Over the past month we have gone over to the other side! Yes, finally after lots of talking we are now the proud owners of not 1 but 2 Macs. It all started with me buying a MacBook Pro. It went well and i moved 18k photos onto it and about 10K music tracks. I then went out and bought time capsule to back it all up. It was so easy to setup and use, that we binned the 6yr old Windows desktop that was on it's last legs. It was replaced by a 21.5" iMac, which is just very cool. We have both Mac's backing up wirelessly to the time capsule and are sharing all our music library between macs, ipods etc. Why did i move? was it because i admired Steve Jobs back turtlenecks? Did i want to join the cool kids? No, simply i save time setting up and running kit. As the house amateur sysadmin i used to spend lots of time managing the windows PC. I spent less time managing 2 macs and i now have a much better and robust backup strategy. So there you have it. Give Steve Jobs your credit card now and he will save you time!
