Reader feedback: 12 inch PowerBook
Im response to my article "I want a 12" PowerBook. I want one now." (Click here to read it), John Dorsey writes in to brag about his new power-toy:
"Just took receipt two days ago of a 12" PB, replacing my special edition clamshell. I had been tempted by the white iBooks - so small! - but still liked the clamshell. But I couldn't resist a G4 in such a tiny box. It runs a bit warm (but only warm) and the trackpad's not *quite* as sensitive to taps as I would like, but otherwise it's perfect!"
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one with 12 inch PowerBook-itis. Describing how his Mac coexists with the PC's at his job at the FDIC, John writes:
"The MS Office intercompatibility makes it pretty easy. And with fast internet connections at both ends, it's easy to shoot documents back and forth to myself. I've owned nothing but Macs since they first came out in 1984 and for a few years there it was a bit of a struggle to keep using them in a PC-dominated world, but for the past 5-6 years it's been a breeze."
It's nice to know that Apple's claim that the Mac "works effortlessly with PCs" is true in John's case.
Do you use a Mac at a PC-dominated jobsite? Is it as easy as (Apple) pie? Or does some annoying IT guy tell you that you can't use a Mac because of some bizarre reason that you're convinced that he got off the back of a cereal box? Share your story.
