Just another nerd.
The Mac Mini is the perfect move for Apple. Personally, I can’t wait to get my hands on one.
This is a much better approach than Apple’s “Switcher” effort. I don’t want to switch — I have way too much invested in Wintel software and hardware to suddenly switch and go with a Mac-only solution.
On the other hand, KVM switches are dirt cheap and $499 is exactly the right price to buy a Macintosh as a second machine.
Way to go Apple.
It just amazes me that I know 12 year olds who can put together incredible looking, highly functional web sites, but companies wanting me to spend tens of thousands of dollars in some case have the most inane policies.
Today I was investigating a very expensive piece of software, and the company’s website offered a walkthrough/demo. First, however, I had to sign up and give all of my personal details. Very annoying, but not uncommon.
But after I submit my details do I get to see a demo or walkthrough of the software? No. Instead I receive an extremely annoying message saying a salesperson will contact me to set up a time when I can view the demo.
Like I want to make an appointment with a salesperson just to get a basic understanding of a software package. The fact that I can’t easily get information about the software or see a demo unattended by a handholding salesperson speaks volumes.
