Ouch… There goes my computer
I haven’t been blogging recently because my precious baby - my PC computer got sick. The display and keyboard go beserk. So now my computer is in the shop - gotta love Best Buy’s extended warranty - NOT. I had just enough time to make a mirror image of my hard drive and remove confidential information from my computer.
Under this warranty, I should hopefully (please please please) have my computer back in 2-3 weeks. This is not good for someone who needs a computer to do over 95% of her work.
Luckily there is another computer in the house for me to use. Unluckily, it is a Mac. Well, I thought it was an unlucky thing until I found out how easy it was to make the transition thanks to these features.
- Ability to read an external hard drive made by a PC.
- Microsoft Office can read/write documents & spreadsheets that are viewable by a Mac or PC.
One of the biggest things I miss is my Palm Sync Software. On the Mac, it will only save one address with the built in Palm Sync. I purchased “The Missing Sync” software so that it would save and sync all my addresses and contact information.
GoToMyPC also stinks. It runs from a browser and depending on the computer you are access the screen can be so small you can’t make out the text.
