My job is changing this year so that I will be dealing more with selling and supporting computers. My boss would like me to get my A+ Certification for various reasons. I am now reading the A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide. I find this kind of interesting that I am learning to support PCs which I don’t even like. I use a PC all day at work and a Mac at home for everything else. I would gladly use a Mac at work but my boss doesn’t like the idea. From my limited knowledge of PC support at the moment, it seems to me that a Mac would be a lot easier to support especially in hardware areas because there is a much more limited choice of configurations (than the hundreds of PC manufacturers).

If you are in the market for a new computer and aren’t sure what to get, go to Apple.com and get a Mac. It’s just better (and doesn’t have viruses).

Ctrl-Alt-Delete Inventor Retires

As was pointed out on 40 Bicycles, the inventor of the Ctrl-Alt-Delete key sequence is retiring from IBM after 28.5 years.

The best part in the article is what Bradley said when he and Bill Gates were both on a panel celebrating 20 years of the IBM PC. He said, “I may have invented [Ctrl-Alt-Delete], but Bill made it famous.”

Reminders like this are great for those who still think a PC is better than a Mac. Just remember that Bill Gates is quoted as saying, “If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good.”
