I’ll begin this post by admitting I’m a Mac addict. I switched to a Macbook Pro as my primary computer over a year ago, and I hope I never have to use a PC again. The best thing about my Mac is that 99% of the time it just works. The long hours I used to spend on the phone with tech support have been eliminated.
Another thing that has been eliminated since I switched to a Mac is the threat of viruses. None of the Mac users I know use anti-virus software, and none have ever had a virus.
And if I absolutely must use a Windows program (maybe twice a year) I can use an application named VMware Fusion, which lets me create a virtual PC on my Macbook. With Fusion, I can run Windows and Mac applications at the same time. There are additional reasons I prefer Macs, but I’m going to try to keep this post short.
The real reason for this post is to point interested people to a couple of recent articles which debate whether lawyers should switch from PCs to Macs. For the Mac advocate’s position, see Sylvia Hsieh’s article Should you switch your office PC to a Mac? Part I: The advantages. For the pro-Windows argument, see Hsieh’s article Should lawyers switch from their PC to a Mac? Part II: The pitfalls.
What can we do together? Since 1999 I've been using the Internet, websites, blogs, online video, Twitter and other social media to help thousands of injured people find great lawyers. We've organized national networks of lawyers in over forty states to take on Pfizer, Bayer, Yamaha and other multinational corporations. We've put consumers on a level playing field, and had fun doing it. If you're a great lawyer looking for more clients, contact me and let's see what we can do together.
