Switch to MAC

Posted by Raj on December 20, 2006

It’s official, I have crossed over to Apple and MAC OS X. The transition has been great and I wanted to share a few tools and configuration tips that I found useful:

 

 

1. Menu Strip: Provides a Home Icon on the top Apple bar which can be easily customized.

2. Make sure to enable two fingers for the right click found in the System Preferences –> Keyboard and Mouse –> Trackpad. Unfortunately Windows has made me a right click addict.

3. The active screen corners for showing desktop and arranging open windows. Although it takes time to get used to moving the mouse to the active corners, this feature is very useful and when I work on Windows machines, I find myself moving the mouse to the active corners.

Drobo is what we all have been looking for in backup solutions! Check out this simple to understand video explaining how it works:
