macs at work

I think this is an awful generalisation. Sure, there are some idiots about, but 90% of people that don't know how to push a button is just ridiculous. If you can do facebook status update, then you propably managed to swithc the thing on.

Clearly you don't work in any sort of support role for Mac users.

I'm actually a certified Apple Technical Coordinator on 10.4 and 10.5, on top of that ITIL V3 certified. I know my way around.

A simple "no I don't work with end users" would have sufficed. We don't need another penis measuring competition.

I'm fairly proficient with Windows, and recently bought myself a MBP.

I use Entourage for my company mail on my Mac, and copied (exported) all my Outlook mail folders and address book to my MBP with ease. I also access my company network remotely by VPN and Citrix which was simple to setup. My company doesn't permit any personal machines on the network in the office.

I use Mac's "Mail" for my private email.

The minor problems I've still goto overcome is Safari does not remember the zoom used for each web site, which makes me stick with FF.
Another thing, Adblock only works if you set Safari to open in 32 bit mode which isn't a problem for me.

I am also dissapointed that all the add-ons I use on Thunderbird aren't available for the Mac version.

This thread was the first time I'd heard about not having a right click - the MBP track pad with gestures has the two finger tap or click for "right click" in addition to other track pad functions that are way superior to any others I know. I'm not that impressed with the Magic Mouse - I use the track pad and mouse about the same amount these days.

CS4 is waaaaaaay faster and better to work with.

Dashboard is great - I've captured the FX insert from a web site and use that in dashboard , really smart (the Mac that is).

Overall, I'm sticking with the Mac.

I don't use this, since my work includes fixing websites when the ads don't show up, but this might help.

Use Glimmerblocker - it works system-wide on all browsers and on 64-bit mode, whatever.
