If you are using mac then you do not need computer backup storage because it has built-in storage system. Everyone need to backup computer files because data can be damaged anytime. Some companies are providing remote backup for websites. Due to latest hacking software data security is essential. Many file sharing programs are used for illegal purpose.

I love windows but I currently transferred to Mac because my Dad bought me this MacBook. I was excited at first, to have this beautiful thing. But for less than a week of using it, I was broken hearted. I miss Windows!

As our Tech chatted with me about my Mac, I told him, “there are things I can do with windows, that I can’t with Mac.” This is how frustrated I was when I found out that I have limitations when using Mac. Here are the following:

• I downloaded Yahoo Messenger for Mac thinking it would do the same as the one I have on windows. To my dismay, it doesn’t have the features that I often use. I am a project manager and therefore I often send mass message to my team mates. Mac version of YM does not have “send to many” feature. Also, I keep on forgetting things, so I also rely on the YM archive, in which again the Mac version doesn’t have. Poor me!
• From this, I keep on searching for a better alternative for a messenger to give me the things I needed. My friend suggested Adium, but she clearly stated that there is no webcam support on this one. It’s okay with me, since I rarely use the webcam for YM, but I found out that the link on status message is not showing on this messenger. I love clicking on the status message of my friends if there’s a link attached to it.
• A friend have this Trillian Astra in which I think would give me what I need, but he gave me the .exe version of its installer and .exe doesn’t work on Mac.
• I searched for something to make it work. I found Darwine, downloaded and installed it, but it doesn’t seem to work.

I AM FRUSTRATED! And thats just the messenger part of it There’s a lot more…
