WPR Mac Help

On today’s show, there were some questions about which cameras, printers, etc., are compatible with OS X.  I had some trouble finding this at first.  Once again, thank you Google!

Here’s a page at Apple that lists most of the devices that they officially support, in terms of iMovie, iPhoto, etc.  It’s unlikely that every supported device is on this list, but it’s a good place to start.

If you’re not sure, check the manufacturer’s web site first.  You might even Google around for some reviews from fellow Mac users before you buy.  Not all “Mac Compatible” devices are created equal.

A great source for reviews and comparisons of Mac compatible devices is available from the folks at MacWorld.

A friend gave me a gift certificate for the Apple Store.  Yes, it’s true.  I have a friend!

I ended up picking up an external keyboard to work with my laptop when I’m at the office.  Apple just released a new style last month with the new iMacs.  Visually, they’re quite impressive.

I just finished writing up a 50+ page server documentation project.  I have to say, this new keyboard is really phenomenal.  I’d say it took me about 20 minutes to get comfortable with it, after which I think I’m typing faster.  The low height off the desk is definitely  a plus.  Even my PC offic-mates want one!
I bought the wired version, as I really wanted a 10-key pad.
