Nevermind what I said up there. That was for the other foo...er fine people stuck in Microsoftland. |
I cheat: My husband is a Software Systems Engineer (PHP Programmer), and former Web Software Developer (he writes code like I write letters) for The Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering. I just do what he says when it comes to computers and hope I can keep up. We have servers everywhere. I work with four desktops (same monitor) on my home computer, am hooked-up to my laptop (for gmail, google calendar of
spray tans , etc.), and have VNC/RDP connections to both of my salons as well as my office computer. Unfortunately, I haven't left my house in like 5 days and my kids get food all over the bills.
As for the "fine people stuck in Microsoftland" I feel bad for them, but everyone's not as lucky as me when it comes to finding a soulmate
that happens to be a SuperGenius
(that's from a Calvin & Hobbes cartoon - he'd kill me if he knew I called him that on here).
However, being a card carrying member of NOW, I do have my
own opinion: Microsoft is BIG Business that runs LITTLE businesses into the ground, just like the Wal-Marts and Best Buys of the world. To me, being a small business, going with a company that isn't trying to take over the world but make it's place in the world better sits best with me.
I'm so off track on this thread I feel guilty - sorry. But like I said - I have no idea how to start a post. I'll try to sign off now, but this site is addictive.
