Apple makes it easy to resell your Macs if you purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan. These protection plans are fully transferable to the person buying your used equipment.
Which doesn't mean one shouldn't give it away, just make sure the AppleCare information goes with it so the recipient can truly enjoy his or her "new" Mac [also true of iPods, iPhones, etc., I suppose]
I have wondered whether Iowa's state laws might also embody the ideas behind the federal eDiscovery rules now found in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and found a blogsite which compiles the current state of state law requirements mirroring the federal provisions on eDiscovery, only to find nothing listed for Iowa.
I have a few friends who have switched from a PC to a Mac either at home or in the office setting and at times they'd expressed certain frustrations to me with how their brand new shiny Mac is working. It's hard for me to feel the pain, as I've always used Macs [Apples] but I can understand a bit of the disconnect. So, when I came across this book review at MacCompanion, I just had to tell them about it. The review, by Dr. Eric Flescher, is of one of the newest entrants to the Dummies line of books, Switching to a Mac for Dummies. His conclusion? "This book is a solid and in-depth guide to learning and knowing all that you need to switch from a PC to your Macintosh. . . . The author covers the material in depth and breadth."
My paralegal was working on a client's Filemaker Pro database with around 500 entries in it about the documents we have bates numbered etc. Apparently, when she was OCR'ing documents a screen also popped up for Deleting the FMP database and when she meant to click the OCR dismiss the dialog box she instead deleted the FMP database === lost all 500 entries! Obviously, she felt sick. I felt worried, but relying on TimeMachine, thought there was an answer.
We opened up TM on the drive and went back an hour or so to the database before it was deleted and restored it = VOILA ,it came back, with all 500 or so entries == I decided to Keep Both and we'll delete the bad one once we check the new restored one. But so far so good....TM is great!!! It took all of 3-5 minutes to do it, by the way.
Good advice.
InfoManager for Macintosh Users Groups
InfoManager has a number of interesting articles of interest to those who use Mqacs and this one might
be important to read -- in fact reading it now, it is == theft of
iPhone is Identity Theft...what to do to prevent it. As with most things, the thing to do is to close the barn door shut before the horse gets out!!
Jeffrey Kabbe wrote an article for his blog at AppleBriefs on the topic of using Macs in a Law Firm and I thought it might be of some interest to readers here.
An interesting blog post from another site was referred to on the MacLaw listserve and I thought it worth noting for general consumption: As a result of an error by Charter Communications in cleaning up its email servers, some 14,000 people whose email resided on the company's server had their email erased recently. More information can be found on this tragedy [assuming those people wanted their business and personal emails saved until they decided to trash them] at an interesting website/blogsite on the whole topic and technology of email, DeathByEmail.
