Wilson also talks utilities that are worth taking a look, and could easily be considered as NECESSARY tools for the switch from PC to Mac! This is a 30 minute podcast, which will probably be the first of two podcasts.  If you were expecting a review on the New Tech Guardian Maximus, I opted for this.  Keep your heads up, the Guardian Maximus review is still on the way. Show Notes:

Apps Worth a Look and more than likely, a buy:
  • TextExpander - THE first utility/app for the Mac for which I have thrown my hard earned money down.
  • Hazel - The most necessary utility I've ever seen, which I probably won't buy - right now.
    • Mac Power User Podcast spotlight on Hazel - truly worth a listen: MPU25
  • Dropbox -Absolutely necessary and absolutely free!
  • Carbonite - Highly recommended.  I have a paid subscription, but I have an issue with their customer service.
  • LaunchBar - OMW, this is like crack for an addict!  It may just be my #2 purchase.
    • Mac Power User Podcast spotlight on LaunchBar: MPU007
  • 1Password - Keeping your passwords and keeping your sanity.

Wilson describes his total hatred for all printers, and finds out that hatred may have been, in all reality, a hatred for Windows. 

Join him as he walks through the process of installing a printer on a mac. It took 20 seconds, folks! Show Notes:

The war is raging harder than ever before between Apple and Adobe.  The battle is whether or not Flash will rule the world, or whether the world will be able to just load a web page and get video. 

In this episode I talk about my Peruvian friend's dilemma with Flash and the iPad and what this battle means to the "person on the street.  

I read most of Steve Job's open letter and try to make sense of this war!

Wilson describes the pain that it took to make him switch from PC to Mac.  In this episode he describes his history as a OEM builder of PCs, his poor 15 month expected lifespan with any laptop, and how the iPod and iTunes influenced his switch.
