The Mac Lawyer: Upgrading Your Computer :: Mac Style

Link: The Mac Lawyer: Upgrading Your Computer :: Mac Style. Ben Stevens, over at the Mac Lawyer, has this post on my column about the problems upgrading a Windows computer. He wants me to become a Mac user, and opines that it is much easier to migrate to a new computer on the OS10X operating system. Alas, I must decline. While I concede the benefits of the Mac world, I could not practice law without Amicus Attorney, ProDoc, HotDocs, or WordPerfect. They are ingrained in my legal personality. Now that I can run them from any XP machine anywhere with my little La Cie Carte Orange credit card drive (can't do that on a Mac!); I am afraid that I am stuck in a Windows world. However, I suggested, in my comment to Ben's post, that maybe we should all learn to get along. Let's all move to Ubuntu Linux! Free, open source, and easy to use. What more could one ask?

I, too am stuck in a Windows world as an attorney. It's particularly dissapointing, because, not too many years ago, both Amicus Attorney and Word Perfect were available for Mac. That's before Bill Gates took a position in Corel (the company that owns Word Perfect)... So, I've learned to live with dissapointment, until we all learn to quit tolerating this blatant manipulation of the marketplace.
