Mac vs PC
http://live.pirillo.com/ - Originally this video was going to discuss the major difference between the Mac and the Windows PC. Ponzi would really love to use the Mac more often, because she finds it to be much more human friendly: the colors and layout appear much better than under Windows; however, she finds herself using Windows more often.
Ponzi uses Windows much more regularly because her productivity software - like Microsoft Money - is much better than most software found on the Mac. While the aesthetics on the Mac are nicer, Windows allows her to be more productive.
That’s what this video was supposed to be about, but it ended up being largely a discussion entered around "brown grandma shoes."
What about you geeks out there: do you buy brown grandma shoes to get out of shoe shopping in the future?

Um, iPhoto doesn’t come close to Picasa?? I use both and keep my photo library mirrored on both my Windows PC and my mac. I like both but the layout is just much better in iPhoto. Picasa needs a calendar so you can select dates and see photos taken on a particular day. (the timeline in picasa is so lame) Also missing is a quick fullscreen view of your photos in picasa (not a slideshow), smartfolders, network library sharing, etc… Maybe some of these features are in picasa but haven’t found them yet.
Picasa is great and it’s free! But come on, iPhoto doesn’t come close?!

Hey guys -
You should give the following financial apps a go on Mac OS X. I know you love MS Money but it wouldn’t hurt for you to compare and contrast some of the lesser known showings on the Mac Platform.

I have to admit that I use Quicken on the mac but I can lo longer justify the upgrades because it lags so far behind in their windows version in features. I am looking into these lower cost alternatives.
cheers with beers
