The Resident Geek: Tech Advice for Your Time, Tasks & Toys

I love my Mac. It’s faster than my PC, it’s prettier than my PC, and it’s smaller. It’s not as compatible though. This really becomes an issue in regards to mobile devices. Unless you have an iPhone or iPod, it’s not likely to natively sync to your Mac. The answer to this dilemma is third party software. But which should you choose? There’s plenty of software claiming to easily and conveniently synchronize your device with mac but which is best?

Starting Monday, I will be reviewing GTD and GTD-ish Software. Software will be rated on: 1. User Interface (Easy to learn?) 2. Functionality (Features, Compatibility) 3. Conformity with GTD Principles (See here) What do we need from you? Tell us what your favorite piece of GTD(ish) software is and why. We will begin our reviews based on this. These reviews will be posted regularly and I encourage readers to post comments on their own experiences with the software. Please feel free to recommend software not yet listed on our GTD Software Comparison Page. Thank you!

Perhaps you found a reason to get a cool new Macbook Air. Maybe you’ve dreaded the inevitable but finally bought that PC simply for it’s compatibility.

In this tutorial, we’ll go step-by-step through everything required to properly set up a Mac/Windows based network.
