Getting ready to purchase a new MacBook Pro for my brother. (Or

1: It just has to work
Good start. The mac'll likely do. There's a learning curve (and a
steeper UN-learning curve from windows) But I"ve shepherded a dozen
or more people through it, most got it right away.
2. Simple wireless connectivity
Mac wireless is easier than Windows.
3. Speech to text software - I have been looking at Dragon
Naturally Speaking, any suggestions?
I'm pretty sure that's about it on the Mac.
4. Download a list of his weekly/daily jobs . Essentially he wants
to be able to access a list of the jobs he will be going out on
that day either first thing in the morning or while he is out and
about (and can get wireless access). He currently uses a desktop
Windows machine at the office, prints out a list and done. Looking
at Bento and iCal so far.
Now this depends on where and what he's downloading...if it's a web
page showing this info, he can just save it as a web archive and
look at it. What app is he getting this information from on Windows?
Hey Bruce, that is the rub. He wants to start from scratch on this
part. His secretary would just type it up for him and print it out or
he would go from his "analog" appointment book. Something that can be
used on both platforms would be ideal. I have been looking at Tungle
(Fre) seems like a good option.
Have the best day yet,
