Dump Microsoft... nothing good ever came from Redmond anyway... well, almost nothing.

If you haven't had a chance to read his book "The Last Lecture" I recommend that you get it and read it. If you have read it, I recommend that you read it again.

It is amazing how inspiring someone can be... especially when that isn't the goal.

Re: What Are You Trying To Sell Me?

I wanted to know if you were interested in buying something from me? I have this great form of coummication that you may not have heard about allowing you the ability to learn all about your clients before you ever make your pitch.

This communication method allows you to research their go to market strategy, target market, current market share and sometimes even detailed financial information.

We call it the internet... just in case you have never heard about it.

Re: Vista: Why Has It Left a Bad Taste?

I upgraded to Vista 8 months ago. I had been on Vista when it first came out and was incredibly unhappy with it so I went back to XP for a while. Reading this post makes me ask myself the question, "What can I do on Vista that I couldn't do before I upgraded?

The answer, I think, is nothing of any consquence. Some of the things that I did well, I can't do the same way now. Some of my old programs don't run anymore. I had to find alternates. I am not more productive and I am not better off for making the switch.

What I do have, however, is more "applications not responding" errors. I have a more Maclike interface and more compatibility issues with devices like my smart phone and camera. (in fact, I have to use my Mac for my camera... have never been able to get it to work with Vista.).

I don't recommend moving to Vista. I think that there are many better choices than Vista. I think that the world would be a better place if everything was Mac friendly.

I have two main reasons I blog.

First, I need a venue to share my opinions. If I don't write it down, I'll bore everyone I talk to throughout the day. At least with my blog, if I want to share my opinion, I only have to bore them with, "Hey, go check out my blog."

Second, I am trying to build my personal brand. I want to be known for something since so much of what I do for a living is behind the scenes. It gives me an opportunity to share who I am with more people than my local area of influence.
