The wonderful world of Mac’s

File this one under personal productivity, folks. Do you have any idea how much slower your computer is as a result of the anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-phishing, and anti-everything else software you have loaded? If you were to remove all that stuff right now, you would notice the difference — I guarantee it.

So it is with great pleasure that I announce I recently became an official Mac convert. No viruses, no spyware — nothing to worry about. I’m actually enjoying using a computer again. So what, pray tell, would happen if we put one in front of everyone at a PR firm? I think you would “move the needle” on productivity. Not just because of security, but because of how friendly and approachable the operating system is. It seems to encourage experimentation. Experimentation leads to experience and comfort, and when it comes to technology, this is something PR practitioners need desperately.

I’d love to hear back from someone out there working in an all-Mac office (I’m looking at you,  Lewis PR!) about what sorts of struggles/triumphs they have working with this setup. Don’t be strangers!
