OS Activities

I watched the "Pirates of the Silicon Valley" movie.  I found the movie to be interesting yet strange at the same time.  I knew most of the information in the movie but did learn a few new things.  I found the information about Apple and Microsoft being "entangled" together somehow interesting.  

I also had the ability to talk to a "techie" -- my husband.  He prefers to use Windows XP (but has Vista on his computer).  XP has a more user-friendly interface.  He doesn't like Vista because of the poor attempt at added security and the changes made to the Windows Explorer interface.  I found while talking to him that he has actually never used a Mac computer before -- which would be the same for me if I hadn't started working in a school environment with Macs. In high school and college I always used Microsoft.  When I started working (3 years ago) and started this masters program is when I began using an Apple computer.  It was a huge change for me but I am now comfortable with both Microsoft and Apple.
