For a couple of years I have heard the siren songs of the Mac aficionados telling me how much I was missing by stubbornly refusing to leave the comfortable, widely accepted Windows platform.  They promised me that I would not regret making “The Switch.”  Grant Griffiths’ Home Office Lawyer Blog, Ben Stevens’ Mac Lawyer blog, and others were effusive in their praise of Macs.  Surely the Mac OS could not be THAT much better than Windows.

Then my trusty Dell laptop died and it was time to get a new computer.  Did I dare take the plunge?  Well, I am typing this blog post on my new MacBook Pro, and I have to say it is SLICK.  I’ve only had it a week, but so far my only regret was that I didn’t switch earlier (they told me I would say that).  There is still the matter of case management that I haven’t completely resolved - do I go with a Mac program like Daylite or Easytime, or do I continue to use Time Matters running on Parallels?  That is still to be determined.

In any event, I will save the gushing until I have had it long enough to give it an objective review.  But, in the immediate afterglow of “The Switch” I have to admit that it seems they were right.
