I get Facebook messages from friends around the world that I know thru my aquarium hobby. About switch to a Mac and iPhone. Wore to one yesterday morning about not being to download an app, Turns out it was a server issue with the app store. Pointed him to the Apple services down page to calm his nerves. https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Strange isn’t it Ed. I have put literally dozens and dozens of people into the Mac. One time in Cincinnati my company was having a large convention. One morning at breakfast we had several people at our table and someone got off on computers. I jumped in and for the longest time I sang the praises. One of the ladies, at the end of the meeting, went straight to the Apple store in Cincy and bought her first Mac. Now everyone in the family has Mac’s and quite often she will write me thanking me for that morning. I have a friend from Wyoming that comes in to spend a few days with me each year, finally about 7 years ago I got him into his first Mac, now there a dozens in his family as all the kids, wives, and grandchildren all have Mac’s. I have a cousin that finally I got into a Mac, he has even converted his CPA office to Mac’s saying Windows runs much better under Boot Camp than it does a Windoze box, he post this to all his friends and on FaceBook. On and on I could go, if each one of us will bring one we’ll pretty soon have a revolution going.

FUD is a strong thing I have friends who fear Apple and the "CONTROL" they have over "MY" computer/smartphone. They have worked up so many workflows around the faults of Window/Android that when they do switch there is a lot of hand holding when they "Think" something is wrong.

Who better to do this than those that use Apple and want others to have the same experience… It’s all about spreading the word…I know I wax old to some, but like Paul Revere I shout "the Mac’s are coming" every chance I can.

Apple users need a lot less help than PC users, IBM finds <image001.gif><http://www.businessinsider.com/> By Matt Weinberger 7 hours ago Over the summer, IBM announced its plans to roll out 50,000 Apple MacBook laptops to its employees<http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ibm-new-service-2015-8> by the end of the year, with a planned total internal adoption of 150,000 to 200,000. Today, IBM revealed some surprisingly positive findings from its early Mac experiments, reports AppleInsider<http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/10/15/only-5-of-mac-users-at-ibm-need-help-desk-support-compared-to-40-of-pc-users>: Only 5% of IBM employees with MacBooks need help desk support from the IT department, versus 40% of PC users. Plus, it means that IBM is supporting over 130,000 combined iPhone, iPad, and MacBook users with just 24 dedicated help desk staff. IBM is at that conference because of its somewhat untraditional corporate laptop deployment process. Basically, employees get a shrinkwrapped, brand new MacBook. By using Apple Device Enrollment and JAMF Software's Casper software, IBM employees can get their own computers set up with the tools and software they need to do their jobs, all in accordance with IBM policy. IBM and Apple have become bosom buddies, recently<http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ibm-the-irony-2015-2>. Last year, the two made headlines with the announcement of a partnership that would see IBM push Apple technology into its big business and enterprise customers, complete with custom software support. And now, it looks like IBM is finding its own success with that idea internally. It should vindicate a lot of Apple fans, who have long championed Apple's OS X as the superior, more user-friendly operating system. "I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out, 'We’ve been telling you this for 30 years,'" as Daring Fireball's John Gruber put it<http://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/10/15/ibm-macs>. _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup
