The return of the Macs
This week, our office finally has mac users as the majority. Over this last year people have been jumping over to Macs – all this started with Apurv, Vinu and then went over to Sandeep, Naga and then to Raj and now even Khusbhu seems to be eyeing a mac. (because a mac doesn’t get virus infected, she claims)
The rest of the office has PC based laptops – but then PC users are not as fanatical as our Mac users and the mac fans are now hell bent on convincing more users to shift over to the mac. I have been holding out with my poor age old Dell laptop, but if the mac gang at the HQ takes over, all hardware would soon become apple compliant.
Oh btw, I was thinking of giving up my laptop – I don’t seem to have too many uses for it anymore. Most of the office processing has gone online – we use google apps, salesforce, unfuddle and a host of other softwares all of which keep our data out there and accessible from everywhere. High amounts of processing power is required by developers & graphic designers and the rest of the gang can just cruise on a thin client. That should slash our hardware & maintenance costs and provide us more uptime.
But then, I am trying to be logical et al. Something that doesn’t go too well with the apple fans at work 
some more facts :-
the whole development team work on macbooks
and we have a spare macbook here at the office if anyone feels the need.
Forza mac
Macs don’t contract viruses?
. The first ever recorded computer virus, Elk Cloner, in the world is on a Apple machine 
.
Though I use a Macbook myself, I am no Mac Maniac
. I just love everything about computers, be it Win,Mac or -UX.

:O
Thats such a lie :O
I’ve never eyed the mac,I’ve only always been a party that appreciates it
thats it
And if and when i do,the right reason would be light weight, and no bulk
But Khushbu, MacBooks are not light weight either
ok den ders nothing motivating about them and I’ve been pro mac’s for no reason.
I hereby announce switching the team of those ppl “who never want to look beyond their virus infected PCs”
Mac rocks!!
with mac’s support for dual display, i can work on 2 softwares simulataneously in 2 different windows without disturbing the other one!
and this is just one of the many advantages..
