How Mac, Windows and Linux see each other

[Puckstop31]

Wait until you all see Windows 8. It is VERY, VERY early beta that I have access to due to being a Microsoft partner.

All I can say is its gonna change some things. Imagine your profile going from you phone, to your Xbox, to your PC and then back to your phone. Same data, same look, same apps... It is going to revolutionize the workplace because your workplace can literally be anywhere you want it to be.

iCloud is going to look like a tinker toy by comparison. (I use iCloud and I like it, BTW.)

To hell with that. I live out in the boonies for a reason. I do NOT want that kind of "accessibility" and find it incredibly narcissistic for people to think they're that bloody important that they need to bring work home with them on their phone.

It just ain't that damned important.

Work is work, home is home, and the two don't mix.

I want my phone to be a phone, I want my computter to be a computter.

Yes it is.

For those of us who dont have a union to secure us.... We work 70 hours a week, for reason.

Better yet, my wife and my family understand how and why I work. I NEED to be connected, 24x7. 14 people and their families depend on me. Its the cross I bear to be FREE dude. No union. No master. ME.

The 2 DO mix. They do. You just have to learn how to make it work. We have.

Fire away.... But your attitude shows why unions are bad for the economy.

Sorry, no one needs to be connected and available 24/7/365.

I didn't take my work home prior to being employed by the Post Office, and I refuse to take work home now.

I find being connected to a wire 24/7 a truly bizarre definition of freedom.

Do I need to be connected 24/7/365? Yes. I'm a freelance photographer and artist. But my main reason? I'm deaf. How else am I going to be able to communicate with people? I don't talk on the phone. It's unbelievably tough for me to do that. It is a whole bunch of gibberish when I try. I'm thankful for email, cell phones (texting plan, of course), and computers. I don't know what I would do if I had no access to any of it. Technology is incredible that way.

This thread has shown the difference between the Entrepreneur, and the Union.

Has the Post Office endorsed #OWS?

[Lady's Human]

This thread hasn't shown that at all.

You have no idea what I've done or how long I've worked.

What this thread shows is how easy it is to stroke one's own ego and paint with broad brushes.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Yes it is.

Oh the cross I bear...I simply MUST be connected 24X7X52 or the whole world will fall in upon itself and disintergrate into a ball of fire.

Are you really that important??? Fourteen people and their families and their families onto the tenth generation will starve...be lost without your devine intervention!

ROTFLMAO at your sense of self-importance.

I own my own business. I have clients who pay me very well. I am "free".

In fact, I am so free...I do not need to be available 24X7X52...

As if that is a measure of freedom or importance....

Let me know if you need advice on how to take care of clients better - so they don't need you 24X7X52!

You are so cute when I get under your skin Thanks for showing just how very little you know about the IT business. LOL But good try!

You really are in the wrong field. You should be a spin doctor. Wait....

You noticed that too huh?

[Catty1]

*sigh* I thought it was a cute cartoon....

[blue]

Blue, you are wrong. Just want to correct one point that you have repeated. LH is NOT a Luddite. Has not been since childhood, is not now, was not raised to be, and never will be. Got that? I have been his sister his whole life, you can trust me on that one.

Im quite sure he could school me with ease on a large amount of technology. I really do mean that.

*sigh* I thought it was a cute cartoon....

I thought it was spot on and pretty dang funnay.

What is your deal? Are you always this miserable or just on pet talk?

Chin up... life isn't that bad

Not to worry Sparky. I am as happy as a lark. Probably because I do not have the weight of 14 families on my shoulders!

Sorry but that is just soooo funny. Thanks for bringing it up again!

[sparks19]

well then maybe I'll just send some of this snow your way so you'll chill out
