windows<\/p>\n<p>0:00:25.260,0:00:31.050<br \/>\nto max the iPad the tablets and<\/p>\n<p>0:00:27.990,0:00:33.719<br \/>\neverything else and but I wanted to<\/p>\n<p>0:00:31.050,0:00:37.230<br \/>\ncontinue the discussion into how to<\/p>\n<p>0:00:33.719,0:00:40.620<br \/>\nchoose because Francis I know it&#8217;s on a<\/p>\n<p>0:00:37.230,0:00:44.190<br \/>\nWindows machine I am mostly on an iPad<\/p>\n<p>0:00:40.620,0:00:47.250<br \/>\nand you know have access to to a Mac if<\/p>\n<p>0:00:44.190,0:00:49.920<br \/>\nI need to but but hasn&#8217;t always been<\/p>\n<p>0:00:47.250,0:00:51.660<br \/>\nlike that you know and it has changed<\/p>\n<p>0:00:49.920,0:00:53.910<br \/>\nover the years and have jumped from the<\/p>\n<p>0:00:51.660,0:00:57.140<br \/>\nMac to the PC to the Mac and and<\/p>\n<p>0:00:53.910,0:01:00.420<br \/>\ndifferent things so doesn&#8217;t matter which<\/p>\n<p>0:00:57.140,0:01:02.039<br \/>\noperating system you are for the 90% of<\/p>\n<p>0:01:00.420,0:01:05.189<br \/>\nthe things you know you can go<\/p>\n<p>0:01:02.039,0:01:08.670<br \/>\nChromebooks and be ok<\/p>\n<p>0:01:05.189,0:01:10.890<br \/>\niPad and be ok windows and be ok<\/p>\n<p>0:01:08.670,0:01:14.820<br \/>\nand then the Mac you keep on to those<\/p>\n<p>0:01:10.890,0:01:18.479<br \/>\nfour and even Linux introduced those 5<\/p>\n<p>0:01:14.820,0:01:19.770<br \/>\noperating systems you can really do 90<\/p>\n<p>0:01:18.479,0:01:22.799<br \/>\npercent and now it&#8217;s a matter of<\/p>\n<p>0:01:19.770,0:01:25.860<br

how we can how<\/p>\n<p>0:01:29.430,0:01:34.829<br \/>\nwe choose which hardware to use and what<\/p>\n<p>0:01:32.159,0:01:37.430<br \/>\nare those criteria that we have for the<\/p>\n<p>0:01:34.829,0:01:40.439<br \/>\nhardware we use and and what we will<\/p>\n<p>0:01:37.430,0:01:42.689<br \/>\nrecommend people you know when they need<\/p>\n<p>0:01:40.439,0:01:45.060<br \/>\nto choose a different kind of hardware<\/p>\n<p>0:01:42.689,0:01:47.610<br \/>\nand we have with us our regular<\/p>\n<p>0:01:45.060,0:01:50.070<br \/>\ncontributor Frances Wade Frances how are<\/p>\n<p>0:01:47.610,0:01:53.280<br \/>\nyou today I&#8217;m great pleasure to be here<\/p>\n<p>0:01:50.070,0:01:54.570<br \/>\nfantastic so as the lead in talked about<\/p>\n<p>0:01:53.280,0:01:57.840<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re going to be talking about hardware<\/p>\n<p>0:01:54.570,0:02:03.060<br \/>\nchoices and it&#8217;s as a continuation of<\/p>\n<p>0:01:57.840,0:02:06.479<br \/>\nour conversation last week before I was<\/p>\n<p>0:02:03.060,0:02:10.259<br \/>\nI my first computer you know if I go<\/p>\n<p>0:02:06.479,0:02:12.060<br \/>\nreally really back was an Apple<\/p>\n<p>0:02:10.259,0:02:20.670<br \/>\nMacintosh<\/p>\n<p>0:02:12.060,0:02:22.709<br \/>\nTandy II here I may need &#8211; I may need to<\/p>\n<p>0:02:20.670,0:02:29.910<br \/>\nresearch what kind of computer was that<\/p>\n<p>0:02:22.709,0:02:31.769<br \/>\nthat was not available on my time that<\/p>\n<p>0:02:29.910,0:02:33.480<br \/>\nwas not available on my time I really<\/p>\n<p>0:02:31.769,0:02:38.090<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t know what kind of machine is that<\/p>\n<p>0:02:33.480,0:02:41.550<br \/>\nbut the first computer that made it home<\/p>\n<p>0:02:38.090,0:02:46.500<br \/>\nwas an Apple Macintosh that&#8217;s what I<\/p>\n<p>0:02:41.550,0:02:50.640<br \/>\nstart my scene I went from there to a PC<\/p>\n<p>0:02:46.500,0:02:56.069<br \/>\nand went through the different pains of<\/p>\n<p>0:02:50.640,0:02:58.410<br \/>\nbeing a Windows user 2007 I decide it<\/p>\n<p>0:02:56.069,0:03:01.860<br \/>\nwas time to go back to the Mac I was at<\/p>\n<p>0:02:58.410,0:03:05.220<br \/>\nthat time pc user but i really did not<\/p>\n<p>0:03:01.860,0:03:08.190<br \/>\nenjoy my computer and experience so i<\/p>\n<p>0:03:05.220,0:03:13.620<br \/>\nwanted something better so I decided to<\/p>\n<p>0:03:08.190,0:03:17.489<br \/>\ntest a MacBook and I really fell in love<\/p>\n<p>0:03:13.620,0:03:20.790<br \/>\nwith the fact that it works you know<\/p>\n<p>0:03:17.489,0:03:23.370<br \/>\nwhen I did that change a good friend of<\/p>\n<p>0:03:20.790,0:03:26.730<br \/>\nmine came to have dinner with us at home<\/p>\n<p>0:03:23.370,0:03:28.170<br \/>\nand he asked so how is the Mac because<\/p>\n<p>0:03:26.730,0:03:30.989<br \/>\nhe was really curious he wanted to do<\/p>\n<p>0:03:28.170,0:03:33.569<br \/>\nthe same and before I could answer my<\/p>\n<p>0:03:30.989,0:03:36.180<br \/>\nwife said oh it&#8217;s great everybody on<\/p>\n<p>0:03:33.569,0:03:38.459<br \/>\nthis dinner table look at her like how<\/p>\n<p>0:03:36.180,0:03:40.500<br \/>\ndo you know and she said it was great<\/p>\n<p>0:03:38.459,0:03:43.410<br \/>\nnow he going to his home office and he<\/p>\n<p>0:03:40.500,0:03:45.780<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t shout before this is to hear all<\/p>\n<p>0:03:43.410,0:03:47.670<br \/>\nthese awful words coming from the office<\/p>\n<p>0:03:45.780,0:03:50.880<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to throw you to the window you<\/p>\n<p>0:03:47.670,0:03:53.639<br \/>\nbeep okay that was a change that the Mac<\/p>\n<p>0:03:50.880,0:03:56.130<br \/>\nbrought for me it was more a machine<\/p>\n<p>0:03:53.639,0:03:58.380<br \/>\nthat works for what I needed to do not<\/p>\n<p>0:03:56.130,0:04:01.290<br \/>\nperfect by any means but it was a<\/p>\n<p>0:03:58.380,0:04:03.329<br \/>\nmachine where I could be much more<\/p>\n<p>0:04:01.290,0:04:05.900<br \/>\nproductive and much more relaxed and for<\/p>\n<p>0:04:03.329,0:04:10.500<br \/>\nthat reason I really like the platform<\/p>\n<p>0:04:05.900,0:04:13.560<br \/>\nbut at that time I was heavy road<\/p>\n<p>0:04:10.500,0:04:18.539<br \/>\nwarrior I was traveling over 250,000<\/p>\n<p>0:04:13.560,0:04:23.220<br \/>\nmiles a year on 2010 when the iPad was<\/p>\n<p>0:04:18.539,0:04:25.830<br \/>\nannounced I look you know for what I did<\/p>\n<p>0:04:23.220,0:04:28.470<br \/>\nI look at the iPad I say<\/p>\n<p>0:04:25.830,0:04:32.340<br \/>\nwith the current version as it was with<\/p>\n<p>0:04:28.470,0:04:35.430<br \/>\nall their limitations in 2010 I can<\/p>\n<p>0:04:32.340,0:04:39.569<br \/>\nprobably get rid of half of the gear on<\/p>\n<p>0:04:35.430,0:04:42.780<br \/>\nmy back and in fact I did pages at that<\/p>\n<p>0:04:39.569,0:04:46.379<br \/>\ntime was not as powerful numbers at that<\/p>\n<p>0:04:42.780,0:04:49.500<br \/>\ntime was not as powerful but I could get<\/p>\n<p>0:04:46.379,0:04:52.379<br \/>\nby for 90% of the stuff and instead of<\/p>\n<p>0:04:49.500,0:04:57.000<br \/>\ncarry that much weight I turn myself<\/p>\n<p>0:04:52.379,0:04:58.740<br \/>\ninto a superlight bag that even even<\/p>\n<p>0:04:57.000,0:05:01.349<br \/>\nwith the standards of battery at that<\/p>\n<p>0:04:58.740,0:05:03.569<br \/>\ntime you know I could last most of the<\/p>\n<p>0:05:01.349,0:05:07.879<br \/>\nday and if not it was a piece of cake to<\/p>\n<p>0:05:03.569,0:05:11.909<br \/>\ncarry the charger with me and the more I<\/p>\n<p>0:05:07.879,0:05:14.879<br \/>\nwork on the iPad with again their<\/p>\n<p>0:05:11.909,0:05:19.050<br \/>\ndifficulties I fall in love with the<\/p>\n<p>0:05:14.879,0:05:20.699<br \/>\ndifference on how much how they I was<\/p>\n<p>0:05:19.050,0:05:24.840<br \/>\nworking on the iPad and at that<\/p>\n<p>0:05:20.699,0:05:27.419<br \/>\nevolution came I begin to see more and<\/p>\n<p>0:05:24.840,0:05:30.870<br \/>\nmore power I&#8217;m a bit of history as I<\/p>\n<p>0:05:27.419,0:05:39.000<br \/>\nstarted off using a Texas Instruments 99<\/p>\n<p>0:05:30.870,0:05:43.080<br \/>\nfor a back in 1980 one or two long time<\/p>\n<p>0:05:39.000,0:05:46.529<br \/>\nago I I was fortunate enough to spend<\/p>\n<p>0:05:43.080,0:05:50.490<br \/>\nthree two summers working at a company<\/p>\n<p>0:05:46.529,0:05:53.099<br \/>\nthat had its first IBM pcs ones where<\/p>\n<p>0:05:50.490,0:05:56.219<br \/>\nthe two floppy drives and so forth so I<\/p>\n<p>0:05:53.099,0:06:00.349<br \/>\nwas using DOS Mac then when I went to<\/p>\n<p>0:05:56.219,0:06:02.729<br \/>\nuniversity it was really mostly about<\/p>\n<p>0:06:00.349,0:06:05.310<br \/>\napple Macintosh&#8217;s which had just been<\/p>\n<p>0:06:02.729,0:06:07.169<br \/>\npurchased we use them heavily but they<\/p>\n<p>0:06:05.310,0:06:08.969<br \/>\nwere also lots of Windows program not<\/p>\n<p>0:06:07.169,0:06:10.620<br \/>\nWindows at the time but there were PC<\/p>\n<p>0:06:08.969,0:06:13.199<br \/>\nprograms that we had to use also this<\/p>\n<p>0:06:10.620,0:06:16.560<br \/>\nwas engineering school so we had to use<\/p>\n<p>0:06:13.199,0:06:20.460<br \/>\nboth and when I left sort of ended<\/p>\n<p>0:06:16.560,0:06:22.529<br \/>\nentered industry the Macintosh of stills<\/p>\n<p>0:06:20.460,0:06:26.099<br \/>\nor Apple machines were still sort of<\/p>\n<p>0:06:22.529,0:06:28.710<br \/>\nexotic so I grew up in the Windows or in<\/p>\n<p>0:06:26.099,0:06:31.139<br \/>\nthe Microsoft ecosystem and never really<\/p>\n<p>0:06:28.710,0:06:36.149<br \/>\nleft I&#8217;ve never owned have an owner of<\/p>\n<p>0:06:31.139,0:06:37.919<br \/>\nan Apple machine never not even not even<\/p>\n<p>0:06:36.149,0:06:39.540<br \/>\na phone part of the justification for<\/p>\n<p>0:06:37.919,0:06:42.360<br \/>\nthat is only because<\/p>\n<p>0:06:39.540,0:06:44.760<br \/>\nI use I like to test out new apps and<\/p>\n<p>0:06:42.360,0:06:47.430<br \/>\nthey in the past they always tended to<\/p>\n<p>0:06:44.760,0:06:49.560<br \/>\ncome out on the windows ecosystem first<\/p>\n<p>0:06:47.430,0:06:50.850<br \/>\nand I never wanted to give up the apps<\/p>\n<p>0:06:49.560,0:06:53.790<br \/>\nthat I use because some of them were<\/p>\n<p>0:06:50.850,0:06:55.860<br \/>\nsort of beta I guess they were<\/p>\n<p>0:06:53.790,0:06:57.660<br \/>\nexperimental given the fact that I like<\/p>\n<p>0:06:55.860,0:06:59.880<br \/>\nto stay on the cutting edge and test<\/p>\n<p>0:06:57.660,0:07:02.130<br \/>\nthese out I didn&#8217;t want to have to go<\/p>\n<p>0:06:59.880,0:07:04.950<br \/>\nback and use a Mac even though over time<\/p>\n<p>0:07:02.130,0:07:07.800<br \/>\neventually Apple ecosystem you could use<\/p>\n<p>0:07:04.950,0:07:11.820<br \/>\nparallels or whatever program to emulate<\/p>\n<p>0:07:07.800,0:07:16.320<br \/>\nWindows I still said why why bother why<\/p>\n<p>0:07:11.820,0:07:19.380<br \/>\nbother to go to what I like I don&#8217;t have<\/p>\n<p>0:07:16.320,0:07:21.390<br \/>\nto use I&#8217;ve always taken this sort of<\/p>\n<p>0:07:19.380,0:07:23.550<br \/>\nminimalist approach that let me make the<\/p>\n<p>0:07:21.390,0:07:26.240<br \/>\nmost of what I have and when I get to a<\/p>\n<p>0:07:23.550,0:07:29.040<br \/>\nreally a hard stop then I&#8217;ll consider<\/p>\n<p>0:07:26.240,0:07:32.180<br \/>\nmoving to something else but if it&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>0:07:29.040,0:07:34.770<br \/>\njust a matter of a more comfortable<\/p>\n<p>0:07:32.180,0:07:36.240<br \/>\noperating system then I won&#8217;t make a<\/p>\n<p>0:07:34.770,0:07:38.700<br \/>\nswitch for that it&#8217;ll have to be<\/p>\n<p>0:07:36.240,0:07:40.710<br \/>\nsomething that really stops the show for<\/p>\n<p>0:07:38.700,0:07:43.080<br \/>\nme because experience of switching costs<\/p>\n<p>0:07:40.710,0:07:44.700<br \/>\nas being substantial so I try to make<\/p>\n<p>0:07:43.080,0:07:46.020<br \/>\nthe most of whatever I&#8217;m using in the<\/p>\n<p>0:07:44.700,0:07:48.060<br \/>\nmoment so I&#8217;ll try to beat it to death<\/p>\n<p>0:07:46.020,0:07:51.690<br \/>\nand then I&#8217;ll give up so I&#8217;m beating<\/p>\n<p>0:07:48.060,0:07:53.990<br \/>\nWindows 7 to death at this point I think<\/p>\n<p>0:07:51.690,0:07:56.700<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s a good choice I mean I get at the<\/p>\n<p>0:07:53.990,0:07:58.380<br \/>\nyou know a lot of these operating system<\/p>\n<p>0:07:56.700,0:07:59.640<br \/>\nchoices are sort of the natural<\/p>\n<p>0:07:58.380,0:08:02.250<br \/>\nprogression of things and most people<\/p>\n<p>0:07:59.640,0:08:03.690<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t choose their operating system<\/p>\n<p>0:08:02.250,0:08:04.440<br \/>\nright their operating system chooses<\/p>\n<p>0:08:03.690,0:08:07.860<br \/>\nthem like you said<\/p>\n<p>0:08:04.440,0:08:09.720<br \/>\nit&#8217;s sort of you know in in school the<\/p>\n<p>0:08:07.860,0:08:11.400<br \/>\ncomputer that you chose and got most<\/p>\n<p>0:08:09.720,0:08:13.410<br \/>\ncomfortable with was the one probably<\/p>\n<p>0:08:11.400,0:08:17.400<br \/>\nthat you ended up using once you left<\/p>\n<p>0:08:13.410,0:08:20.040<br \/>\nschool and it sort of stuck you know for<\/p>\n<p>0:08:17.400,0:08:22.800<br \/>\nme I&#8217;ve I&#8217;ve had the kind of luxury of<\/p>\n<p>0:08:20.040,0:08:25.500<br \/>\nalways having many different operating<\/p>\n<p>0:08:22.800,0:08:27.720<br \/>\nsystems around me and so I think I think<\/p>\n<p>0:08:25.500,0:08:29.310<br \/>\nvery similarly except for the fact that<\/p>\n<p>0:08:27.720,0:08:30.840<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve never had to make a choice<\/p>\n<p>0:08:29.310,0:08:32.540<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve always had a lot of computers<\/p>\n<p>0:08:30.840,0:08:37.940<br \/>\naround me and there were many years of<\/p>\n<p>0:08:32.540,0:08:42.780<br \/>\nWindows primarily but I&#8217;ve always had a<\/p>\n<p>0:08:37.940,0:08:45.480<br \/>\nWindows Mac and some flavor of canoe<\/p>\n<p>0:08:42.780,0:08:48.180<br \/>\nwith Linux you know sort of an<\/p>\n<p>0:08:45.480,0:08:50.190<br \/>\nopen-source operating system available<\/p>\n<p>0:08:48.180,0:08:52.820<br \/>\nto me and that&#8217;s just because I was the<\/p>\n<p>0:08:50.190,0:08:55.280<br \/>\narea of the world that I was in you know<\/p>\n<p>0:08:52.820,0:08:57.860<br \/>\nI was working in technology in a legal<\/p>\n<p>0:08:55.280,0:09:02.270<br \/>\nworld they allowed me to play with<\/p>\n<p>0:08:57.860,0:09:03.830<br \/>\ntechnology and so I did so you know it<\/p>\n<p>0:09:02.270,0:09:05.660<br \/>\nwas really remarkable for me I mean I<\/p>\n<p>0:09:03.830,0:09:08.120<br \/>\nremember the Macintosh computers in<\/p>\n<p>0:09:05.660,0:09:12.140<br \/>\nschool and you know we really only<\/p>\n<p>0:09:08.120,0:09:14.720<br \/>\nplayed games on those and so you know we<\/p>\n<p>0:09:12.140,0:09:17.360<br \/>\nplayed games but I primarily computed on<\/p>\n<p>0:09:14.720,0:09:19.790<br \/>\na Windows environment and so I became<\/p>\n<p>0:09:17.360,0:09:23.140<br \/>\nvery very you know proficient in Windows<\/p>\n<p>0:09:19.790,0:09:25.310<br \/>\nand that led me to you know being<\/p>\n<p>0:09:23.140,0:09:27.710<br \/>\ninterested in in Windows being my<\/p>\n<p>0:09:25.310,0:09:32.150<br \/>\nprimary computer I think it wasn&#8217;t until<\/p>\n<p>0:09:27.710,0:09:35.480<br \/>\nmaybe 2011 when the I picked up a<\/p>\n<p>0:09:32.150,0:09:37.670<br \/>\nMacBook Air the 11 inch for purely for<\/p>\n<p>0:09:35.480,0:09:39.080<br \/>\nthe form factor I mean I really didn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>0:09:37.670,0:09:40.790<br \/>\nbuy it for the operating system because<\/p>\n<p>0:09:39.080,0:09:43.820<br \/>\nyou know there wasn&#8217;t my preferred<\/p>\n<p>0:09:40.790,0:09:44.900<br \/>\noperating system and it still isn&#8217;t you<\/p>\n<p>0:09:43.820,0:09:46.100<br \/>\nknow I don&#8217;t particularly have a<\/p>\n<p>0:09:44.900,0:09:47.690<br \/>\npreference I think if I have a<\/p>\n<p>0:09:46.100,0:09:50.000<br \/>\npreference it probably is two windows<\/p>\n<p>0:09:47.690,0:09:55.220<br \/>\ncuz I&#8217;m so you know used to it although<\/p>\n<p>0:09:50.000,0:09:59.210<br \/>\nfrom 95 to you know probably XP to<\/p>\n<p>0:09:55.220,0:10:02.540<br \/>\nWindows 7 you know that was not that big<\/p>\n<p>0:09:59.210,0:10:05.480<br \/>\nof a a interface change but now at<\/p>\n<p>0:10:02.540,0:10:08.480<br \/>\nWindows 8 to 10 there&#8217;s a substantial<\/p>\n<p>0:10:05.480,0:10:10.730<br \/>\ninterface change and so even then you<\/p>\n<p>0:10:08.480,0:10:13.730<br \/>\nknow I use Windows 10 on a regular basis<\/p>\n<p>0:10:10.730,0:10:15.640<br \/>\nbut it I&#8217;m not now using it everyday as<\/p>\n<p>0:10:13.730,0:10:19.010<br \/>\nI do on my travel laptop which is a<\/p>\n<p>0:10:15.640,0:10:20.810<br \/>\n13-inch MacBook Air and so you know<\/p>\n<p>0:10:19.010,0:10:23.480<br \/>\nthere is a bit of upstart cost to<\/p>\n<p>0:10:20.810,0:10:24.950<br \/>\ngetting used to an interface and you<\/p>\n<p>0:10:23.480,0:10:27.140<br \/>\nknow when I&#8217;m on different keyboards<\/p>\n<p>0:10:24.950,0:10:29.510<br \/>\nevery time I switch keyboards you know<\/p>\n<p>0:10:27.140,0:10:30.410<br \/>\neven here at my desk I have to remember<\/p>\n<p>0:10:29.510,0:10:33.020<br \/>\noh right<\/p>\n<p>0:10:30.410,0:10:36.380<br \/>\nyou know command isn&#8217;t on the Windows<\/p>\n<p>0:10:33.020,0:10:38.840<br \/>\nlaptop you know and the command option<\/p>\n<p>0:10:36.380,0:10:40.280<br \/>\ncontrol function keys are different so<\/p>\n<p>0:10:38.840,0:10:42.680<br \/>\nthere is a little bit of change there<\/p>\n<p>0:10:40.280,0:10:45.500<br \/>\nbut I&#8217;m comfortable with that because I<\/p>\n<p>0:10:42.680,0:10:47.120<br \/>\nknow that I need to know these for being<\/p>\n<p>0:10:45.500,0:10:49.480<br \/>\nable to do the training that I do for my<\/p>\n<p>0:10:47.120,0:10:52.490<br \/>\nclients so it&#8217;s it&#8217;s kind of a<\/p>\n<p>0:10:49.480,0:10:54.290<br \/>\ndouble-edged sword in a way because I do<\/p>\n<p>0:10:52.490,0:10:56.390<br \/>\nhave to constantly switch gears in my<\/p>\n<p>0:10:54.290,0:10:57.620<br \/>\nbrain in terms of which keyboard and<\/p>\n<p>0:10:56.390,0:10:59.570<br \/>\nwhich operating systems and what<\/p>\n<p>0:10:57.620,0:11:01.130<br \/>\nfunctions where you know now there&#8217;s a<\/p>\n<p>0:10:59.570,0:11:03.440<br \/>\nlot of parity between the two platforms<\/p>\n<p>0:11:01.130,0:11:06.530<br \/>\nbut there&#8217;s always that always that<\/p>\n<p>0:11:03.440,0:11:06.769<br \/>\nreality it is interesting you said I<\/p>\n<p>0:11:06.530,0:11:09.290<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>0:11:06.769,0:11:12.709<br \/>\nmy world was exactly the opposite the<\/p>\n<p>0:11:09.290,0:11:14.660<br \/>\nplay computer was the windows that&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>0:11:12.709,0:11:16.759<br \/>\nwhere you can play you know that<\/p>\n<p>0:11:14.660,0:11:19.519<br \/>\nfantastic game called test-drive that<\/p>\n<p>0:11:16.759,0:11:22.100<br \/>\nwas car simulator that I remember and<\/p>\n<p>0:11:19.519,0:11:26.329<br \/>\nwhere you could play polish quest and<\/p>\n<p>0:11:22.100,0:11:30.439<br \/>\nand I&#8217;m dating now myself but that I was<\/p>\n<p>0:11:26.329,0:11:33.559<br \/>\ntrying not to but um it was for me the<\/p>\n<p>0:11:30.439,0:11:36.799<br \/>\nPC where you go and play and the mag was<\/p>\n<p>0:11:33.559,0:11:38.749<br \/>\nwhere I do more serious work and maybe<\/p>\n<p>0:11:36.799,0:11:40.999<br \/>\nbecause the software I had available I&#8217;d<\/p>\n<p>0:11:38.749,0:11:44.420<br \/>\nremember having pagemaker<\/p>\n<p>0:11:40.999,0:11:46.999<br \/>\nfor for the Mac that then allows you to<\/p>\n<p>0:11:44.420,0:11:49.129<br \/>\nhelp on and create you know a little we<\/p>\n<p>0:11:46.999,0:11:52.279<br \/>\nhad a little magazine that tie at that<\/p>\n<p>0:11:49.129,0:11:56.089<br \/>\ntime and it was amazing to be able to<\/p>\n<p>0:11:52.279,0:11:59.989<br \/>\ndesign the page in ways that my friends<\/p>\n<p>0:11:56.089,0:12:02.059<br \/>\non Windows didn&#8217;t even dream of with the<\/p>\n<p>0:11:59.989,0:12:06.499<br \/>\ntools they had a bad one as a matter of<\/p>\n<p>0:12:02.059,0:12:08.959<br \/>\ntools but but it it was really cool to<\/p>\n<p>0:12:06.499,0:12:11.720<br \/>\nbe able to get and design our magazine<\/p>\n<p>0:12:08.959,0:12:13.730<br \/>\nin pagemaker in a way that looks like<\/p>\n<p>0:12:11.720,0:12:15.230<br \/>\nwhat would currently it was a<\/p>\n<p>0:12:13.730,0:12:18.170<br \/>\nprofessional magazine<\/p>\n<p>0:12:15.230,0:12:20.589<br \/>\nyes TMI and I used to I some look at the<\/p>\n<p>0:12:18.170,0:12:22.819<br \/>\nfoot guys playing and gals doing<\/p>\n<p>0:12:20.589,0:12:29.600<br \/>\nPageMaker work and I&#8217;d be like why don&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>0:12:22.819,0:12:31.569<br \/>\nyou just use publisher and you know<\/p>\n<p>0:12:29.600,0:12:34.699<br \/>\nagain you know it ended up being that<\/p>\n<p>0:12:31.569,0:12:36.259<br \/>\nyou know I was on the wrong side of the<\/p>\n<p>0:12:34.699,0:12:38.689<br \/>\nof history because you know obviously<\/p>\n<p>0:12:36.259,0:12:42.319<br \/>\npublisher hasn&#8217;t become standard bearer<\/p>\n<p>0:12:38.689,0:12:43.850<br \/>\nand Adobe took over but you know but it<\/p>\n<p>0:12:42.319,0:12:46.189<br \/>\nwas it was one of those things back then<\/p>\n<p>0:12:43.850,0:12:49.999<br \/>\nat least you know I really didn&#8217;t see<\/p>\n<p>0:12:46.189,0:12:52.369<br \/>\nthe difference I didn&#8217;t see the the the<\/p>\n<p>0:12:49.999,0:12:54.379<br \/>\nneed for having to switch you know to<\/p>\n<p>0:12:52.369,0:12:57.470<br \/>\nanother operating system back then and<\/p>\n<p>0:12:54.379,0:13:00.649<br \/>\nhonestly I would have I think that if I<\/p>\n<p>0:12:57.470,0:13:02.419<br \/>\nhad been more thoughtful about it if I<\/p>\n<p>0:13:00.649,0:13:03.860<br \/>\nhad been more mindful of it I think I<\/p>\n<p>0:13:02.419,0:13:06.470<br \/>\nprobably would have gotten more<\/p>\n<p>0:13:03.860,0:13:08.809<br \/>\nproficient in something like PageMaker<\/p>\n<p>0:13:06.470,0:13:11.689<br \/>\nor another layout you know program and<\/p>\n<p>0:13:08.809,0:13:14.029<br \/>\nyou know today I&#8217;m I&#8217;m a huge open<\/p>\n<p>0:13:11.689,0:13:16.339<br \/>\nsource advocate so I I used Scribus and<\/p>\n<p>0:13:14.029,0:13:18.169<br \/>\nInkscape which are open source layout<\/p>\n<p>0:13:16.339,0:13:19.310<br \/>\nprograms and graphic editing

you want to call it you<\/p>\n<p>0:13:23.509,0:13:27.110<br \/>\nknow something like that<\/p>\n<p>0:13:24.350,0:13:28.790<br \/>\nand and so you know the real problem<\/p>\n<p>0:13:27.110,0:13:32.689<br \/>\nthere of course is that you know those<\/p>\n<p>0:13:28.790,0:13:34.970<br \/>\nfiles are our open standards but Adobe<\/p>\n<p>0:13:32.689,0:13:38.029<br \/>\nproducts are not going to play well with<\/p>\n<p>0:13:34.970,0:13:40.129<br \/>\nthose ever so it&#8217;s always a bit of

if<\/p>\n<p>0:14:00.069,0:14:06.829<br \/>\nwe have seen in the software world you<\/p>\n<p>0:14:04.189,0:14:10.550<br \/>\nknow those giants that suddenly<\/p>\n<p>0:14:06.829,0:14:13.550<br \/>\ntechnology change an evolve and they you<\/p>\n<p>0:14:10.550,0:14:15.410<br \/>\nsee them just an amazing amount of<\/p>\n<p>0:14:13.550,0:14:18.019<br \/>\nmarket share you know in the recent<\/p>\n<p>0:14:15.410,0:14:20.689<br \/>\nyears Microsoft a perfect example of<\/p>\n<p>0:14:18.019,0:14:23.329<br \/>\nthat you know if you go back to 2010<\/p>\n<p>0:14:20.689,0:14:25.250<br \/>\nthat is not that far away and you ask<\/p>\n<p>0:14:23.329,0:14:27.230<br \/>\npeople how do you make you will ask<\/p>\n<p>0:14:25.250,0:14:29.509<br \/>\npeople in 2010 how do you make a

apparently<\/p>\n<p>0:14:32.089,0:14:37.910<br \/>\nthe only software available for the<\/p>\n<p>0:14:33.680,0:14:41.779<br \/>\nworld to make a letter because Microsoft<\/p>\n<p>0:14:37.910,0:14:45.740<br \/>\nnot willing to open to the other<\/p>\n<p>0:14:41.779,0:14:47.990<br \/>\nplatforms and not are willing to open

\/>\nthat same question to people you know<\/p>\n<p>0:14:53.180,0:14:58.220<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s still people who think work is<\/p>\n<p>0:14:55.040,0:15:02.000<br \/>\nthe only answer but that number is a lot<\/p>\n<p>0:14:58.220,0:15:04.540<br \/>\nsmaller than what it was and even when<\/p>\n<p>0:15:02.000,0:15:09.259<br \/>\nyou look at what a Microsoft package<\/p>\n<p>0:15:04.540,0:15:11.750<br \/>\nused to cost in 2010 versus what it cost<\/p>\n<p>0:15:09.259,0:15:14.629<br \/>\ntoday do you understand how much

\/>\nI mean you know the the the standard PC<\/p>\n<p>0:15:19.579,0:15:25.910<br \/>\ntoday notwithstanding the manufacturer<\/p>\n<p>0:15:22.999,0:15:27.470<br \/>\nthe hardware itself has they&#8217;ve lost a<\/p>\n<p>0:15:25.910,0:15:29.720<br \/>\nlot of control there I think there&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>0:15:27.470,0:15:30.970<br \/>\nonce upon a time when Dell was the king<\/p>\n<p>0:15:29.720,0:15:32.709<br \/>\nof the<\/p>\n<p>0:15:30.970,0:15:35.829<br \/>\nof the pond if you want a king of the<\/p>\n<p>0:15:32.709,0:15:38.680<br \/>\nsea Dell lost a lot there and no longer<\/p>\n<p>0:15:35.829,0:15:41.829<br \/>\ndo they have that same level of strength<\/p>\n<p>0:15:38.680,0:15:45.220<br \/>\nwhen it comes to putting you know purely<\/p>\n<p>0:15:41.829,0:15:47.290<br \/>\nMicrosoft Windows on every computer that<\/p>\n<p>0:15:45.220,0:15:48.970<br \/>\ngoes out and and obviously Microsoft has<\/p>\n<p>0:15:47.290,0:15:52.389<br \/>\nmade I think a lot of really great<\/p>\n<p>0:15:48.970,0:15:54.160<br \/>\nstrides in and with the surface and the<\/p>\n<p>0:15:52.389,0:15:56.800<br \/>\nsurface pro I think that they&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p>0:15:54.160,0:16:00.129<br \/>\nfantastic computing devices it&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>0:15:56.800,0:16:01.930<br \/>\nobviously a high-end market device so<\/p>\n<p>0:16:00.129,0:16:03.750<br \/>\nit&#8217;s not for the faint of heart if<\/p>\n<p>0:16:01.930,0:16:06.430<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re looking for an inexpensive<\/p>\n<p>0:16:03.750,0:16:09.069<br \/>\ncomputing device but they&#8217;re great<\/p>\n<p>0:16:06.430,0:16:11.920<br \/>\ncomputers so I think all of the<\/p>\n<p>0:16:09.069,0:16:14.980<br \/>\nmanufacturers and all of the OEMs in<\/p>\n<p>0:16:11.920,0:16:16.959<br \/>\nthat way including major tech companies<\/p>\n<p>0:16:14.980,0:16:19.300<br \/>\nthat are producing operating systems<\/p>\n<p>0:16:16.959,0:16:21.370<br \/>\nlike Microsoft and Google and Apple and<\/p>\n<p>0:16:19.300,0:16:23.709<br \/>\nso and so forth they all really need to<\/p>\n<p>0:16:21.370,0:16:26.949<br \/>\nthink long and hard about the long tail<\/p>\n<p>0:16:23.709,0:16:29.170<br \/>\neffect of their users and where their<\/p>\n<p>0:16:26.949,0:16:31.629<br \/>\nusers are going and that means users are<\/p>\n<p>0:16:29.170,0:16:35.079<br \/>\ngoing to need to be able to move from<\/p>\n<p>0:16:31.629,0:16:37.660<br \/>\none screen size to another much more<\/p>\n<p>0:16:35.079,0:16:39.519<br \/>\nfluidly than we do today so for our<\/p>\n<p>0:16:37.660,0:16:43.000<br \/>\nlisteners I really think that&#8217;s a key<\/p>\n<p>0:16:39.519,0:16:45.189<br \/>\ncomponent to choosing Hardware today is<\/p>\n<p>0:16:43.000,0:16:48.459<br \/>\nare the is the hardware that you&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p>0:16:45.189,0:16:50.189<br \/>\nchoosing capable of transitioning from<\/p>\n<p>0:16:48.459,0:16:53.529<br \/>\none platform to the other to the other<\/p>\n<p>0:16:50.189,0:16:57.730<br \/>\nmore and more I find myself gravitating<\/p>\n<p>0:16:53.529,0:17:00.939<br \/>\ntoward using the browser and browser<\/p>\n<p>0:16:57.730,0:17:03.610<br

do<\/p>\n<p>0:17:27.429,0:17:33.360<br \/>\nyou feel like you lend more to apps on<\/p>\n<p>0:17:30.549,0:17:36.880<br \/>\nthe phone software on the desktop or<\/p>\n<p>0:17:33.360,0:17:39.070<br

like I said before we<\/p>\n<p>0:17:48.970,0:17:54.070<br \/>\nstarted the call I had to reinstall<\/p>\n<p>0:17:50.409,0:17:59.049<br \/>\nwindows 7 this week and it was you know<\/p>\n<p>0:17:54.070,0:18:01.509<br \/>\nI anticipated a a nasty challenge it<\/p>\n<p>0:17:59.049,0:18:09.970<br \/>\nwasn&#8217;t as bad as I remembered the

now we&#8217;re now<\/p>\n<p>0:20:05.350,0:20:11.200<br \/>\nnickel and dime-ing over well you know<\/p>\n<p>0:20:07.540,0:20:14.200<br \/>\nApple pages has this you know very minute<\/p>\n<p>0:20:11.200,0:20:17.230<br \/>\nfeature and Google Docs doesn&#8217;t so you<\/p>\n<p>0:20:14.200,0:20:18.880<br \/>\nknow I I&#8217;m gonna hold to this piece of<\/p>\n<p>0:20:17.230,0:20:21.490<br \/>\nsoftware it&#8217;s like wait both type both<\/p>\n<p>0:20:18.880,0:20:23.500<br \/>\ndo fonts both change you know bold<\/p>\n<p>0:20:21.490,0:20:28.150<br \/>\nitalics and underline really give me a<\/p>\n<p>0:20:23.500,0:20:31.210<br \/>\nbreak look at the big features and and<\/p>\n<p>0:20:28.150,0:20:34.240<br \/>\nwhat it can do and you know arguing on<\/p>\n<p>0:20:31.210,0:20:37.540<br \/>\nthe margins I think is a number one<\/p>\n<p>0:20:34.240,0:20:39.100<br \/>\nproblem I think of choosing software at<\/p>\n<p>0:20:37.540,0:20:41.860<br \/>\nsome point they&#8217;re all gonna catch up<\/p>\n<p>0:20:39.100,0:20:44.710<br \/>\nwith each other one will maintain an<\/p>\n<p>0:20:41.860,0:20:46.240<br \/>\nadvantage for a few months and then<\/p>\n<p>0:20:44.710,0:20:48.430<br \/>\nthey&#8217;ll edit the competitors will add<\/p>\n<p>0:20:46.240,0:20:50.110<br \/>\nthat feature in and then there goes the<\/p>\n<p>0:20:48.430,0:20:53.140<br \/>\nadvantage so if you can just be patient<\/p>\n<p>0:20:50.110,0:20:54.820<br \/>\nenough I think pretty much all the<\/p>\n<p>0:20:53.140,0:20:56.140<br \/>\nfeatures and most of the major pieces of<\/p>\n<p>0:20:54.820,0:20:58.360<br \/>\nsoftware will get there at the same time<\/p>\n<p>0:20:56.140,0:20:59.620<br \/>\nand they&#8217;ll become cross-compatible I<\/p>\n<p>0:20:58.360,0:21:02.230<br \/>\nthink you know just like Microsoft<\/p>\n<p>0:20:59.620,0:21:04.110<br \/>\nopened up to the open standards of the<\/p>\n<p>0:21:02.230,0:21:07.390<br \/>\nODF which is the open document format<\/p>\n<p>0:21:04.110,0:21:11.380<br \/>\nGoogle Docs does the same thing with RTF<\/p>\n<p>0:21:07.390,0:21:14.290<br \/>\nand ODF and now you know I&#8217;m sure that<\/p>\n<p>0:21:11.380,0:21:16.960<br \/>\nApple pages don&#8217;t hold me to this but<\/p>\n<p>0:21:14.290,0:21:18.730<br \/>\nI&#8217;m almost sure that it also does you<\/p>\n<p>0:21:16.960,0:21:21.700<br \/>\nknow open standards you know that kind<\/p>\n<p>0:21:18.730,0:21:24.310<br \/>\nof opening of the software to be able to<\/p>\n<p>0:21:21.700,0:21:26.620<br \/>\nbe cross-compatible reduces the feeling<\/p>\n<p>0:21:24.310,0:21:28.510<br \/>\nof wanting to use one piece of software<\/p>\n<p>0:21:26.620,0:21:31.950<br \/>\nover another and feeling like you&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p>0:21:28.510,0:21:34.870<br \/>\ngonna be locked into only ever using<\/p>\n<p>0:21:31.950,0:21:37.150<br \/>\niCloud you know with Apple pages or<\/p>\n<p>0:21:34.870,0:21:40.510<br \/>\nApple pages on on the Mac OS X desktop<\/p>\n<p>0:21:37.150,0:21:43.210<br \/>\nor whatever you know eventually that<\/p>\n<p>0:21:40.510,0:21:46.180<br \/>\nwould be nice I am stocking apps at this<\/p>\n<p>0:21:43.210,0:21:48.490<br \/>\nparticular moment I actually there were<\/p>\n<p>0:21:46.180,0:21:53.410<br \/>\ntwo things that happened to me recently<\/p>\n<p>0:21:48.490,0:21:58.210<br \/>\none is I was doing something on the Mac<\/p>\n<p>0:21:53.410,0:22:00.670<br \/>\nand the I was trying to test theory now<\/p>\n<p>0:21:58.210,0:22:03.400<br \/>\nthe magazine toid the plain machine and<\/p>\n<p>0:22:00.670,0:22:05.260<br \/>\nI was testing something and the software<\/p>\n<p>0:22:03.400,0:22:07.390<br \/>\nI was going to test something says are<\/p>\n<p>0:22:05.260,0:22:09.200<br \/>\nyou sure you want to do this and I did<\/p>\n<p>0:22:07.390,0:22:12.110<br \/>\nnot completely read and say okay<\/p>\n<p>0:22:09.200,0:22:14.149<br \/>\nand the instruction I was miss reading<\/p>\n<p>0:22:12.110,0:22:15.590<br \/>\nsays we are going to wipe out your hard<\/p>\n<p>0:22:14.149,0:22:23.419<br \/>\ndrive okay<\/p>\n<p>0:22:15.590,0:22:26.240<br \/>\nnot a great the good news was 90% or<\/p>\n<p>0:22:23.419,0:22:30.139<br \/>\nmore actually I don&#8217;t think the amount<\/p>\n<p>0:22:26.240,0:22:34.220<br \/>\nof files I have on my actual hard drive<\/p>\n<p>0:22:30.139,0:22:38.090<br \/>\nheart Harvard are just applications so I<\/p>\n<p>0:22:34.220,0:22:39.769<br \/>\ndidn&#8217;t lose any files and I had backup<\/p>\n<p>0:22:38.090,0:22:41.750<br \/>\nso it was a matter of the pain of<\/p>\n<p>0:22:39.769,0:22:45.019<br \/>\nrestore than anything else but that&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>0:22:41.750,0:22:46.610<br \/>\nwhere for me the cloud it&#8217;s fantastic<\/p>\n<p>0:22:45.019,0:22:50.389<br \/>\nwhere all the stuff is there and I can<\/p>\n<p>0:22:46.610,0:22:54.740<br \/>\ngo and find the second thing I test<\/p>\n<p>0:22:50.389,0:22:57.529<br \/>\nrecently a Chromebook for a project and<\/p>\n<p>0:22:54.740,0:23:01.309<br \/>\nI was quietly rust as a hardware with a<\/p>\n<p>0:22:57.529,0:23:03.289<br \/>\nChromebook with a Chrome OS and I even<\/p>\n<p>0:23:01.309,0:23:07.070<br \/>\nconsider well this may be you know a<\/p>\n<p>0:23:03.289,0:23:10.370<br \/>\nreplacement for my current hardware for<\/p>\n<p>0:23:07.070,0:23:12.080<br \/>\nmy iPad in the sense not some of the<\/p>\n<p>0:23:10.370,0:23:14.000<br \/>\nthings but you know for the writing and<\/p>\n<p>0:23:12.080,0:23:17.029<br \/>\nthe on the day-to-day of the computer<\/p>\n<p>0:23:14.000,0:23:20.029<br \/>\nand all that but I found myself tied up<\/p>\n<p>0:23:17.029,0:23:25.070<br \/>\nmy journal application my task<\/p>\n<p>0:23:20.029,0:23:29.120<br \/>\napplication and and I basically wasn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>0:23:25.070,0:23:32.659<br \/>\nwilling to have a computer who did not<\/p>\n<p>0:23:29.120,0:23:35.539<br \/>\nhave access to that so going or adding<\/p>\n<p>0:23:32.659,0:23:38.570<br \/>\nto to this what you were saying earlier<\/p>\n<p>0:23:35.539,0:23:42.289<br \/>\nabout being able to change the screen<\/p>\n<p>0:23:38.570,0:23:46.340<br \/>\nsize that&#8217;s one of my favorite features<\/p>\n<p>0:23:42.289,0:23:50.149<br \/>\nof living on an iOS ecosystem doesn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>0:23:46.340,0:23:53.419<br \/>\nmatter if I grab my iPad pro or I grab<\/p>\n<p>0:23:50.149,0:23:57.620<br \/>\nmy iPad Mini or I grab my iPhone I have<\/p>\n<p>0:23:53.419,0:24:00.950<br \/>\nexactly the same software the same tool<\/p>\n<p>0:23:57.620,0:24:04.760<br \/>\na abacus the same thing even if at dawn<\/p>\n<p>0:24:00.950,0:24:07.789<br \/>\n1\/2 so for example I don&#8217;t see email on<\/p>\n<p>0:24:04.760,0:24:10.460<br \/>\nmy iPhone I&#8217;ve not done that for years I<\/p>\n<p>0:24:07.789,0:24:13.880<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t I&#8217;m not interested in look email<\/p>\n<p>0:24:10.460,0:24:15.980<br \/>\non my iPhone but if I need to all that I<\/p>\n<p>0:24:13.880,0:24:18.889<br \/>\nneed to go is to settings and turn them<\/p>\n<p>0:24:15.980,0:24:21.180<br \/>\non you know something that I&#8217;m feeling<\/p>\n<p>0:24:18.889,0:24:23.670<br \/>\nlike it&#8217;s probably a tendency for me<\/p>\n<p>0:24:21.180,0:24:27.210<br \/>\nI make my way forward is is probably to<\/p>\n<p>0:24:23.670,0:24:32.430<br \/>\nuse the Chrome OS platform more and more<\/p>\n<p>0:24:27.210,0:24:36.600<br \/>\nand it&#8217;s probably similar to you Augusto<\/p>\n<p>0:24:32.430,0:24:39.300<br \/>\nwhere it&#8217;s being able to use a similar<\/p>\n<p>0:24:36.600,0:24:42.510<br \/>\noperating system across you know all of<\/p>\n<p>0:24:39.300,0:24:45.000<br \/>\nyour devices and with Chrome OS you know<\/p>\n<p>0:24:42.510,0:24:47.220<br \/>\nI can use Android applications now<\/p>\n<p>0:24:45.000,0:24:48.960<br \/>\nwithin the Chrome OS and then you know<\/p>\n<p>0:24:47.220,0:24:51.570<br \/>\nI&#8217;m using the Google Chrome browser as<\/p>\n<p>0:24:48.960,0:24:54.150<br \/>\nmy primary browser anyway most of the<\/p>\n<p>0:24:51.570,0:24:56.100<br \/>\ntime so it&#8217;s going to it&#8217;s going to end<\/p>\n<p>0:24:54.150,0:24:57.540<br \/>\nup that&#8217;s sort of where I feel I&#8217;m going<\/p>\n<p>0:24:56.100,0:24:59.850<br \/>\nto go you and I have had this<\/p>\n<p>0:24:57.540,0:25:03.090<br \/>\nconversation about getting Chrome OS on<\/p>\n<p>0:24:59.850,0:25:05.640<br \/>\nto the MacBook on on to the you know the<\/p>\n<p>0:25:03.090,0:25:07.290<br \/>\nhardware itself the Mac hardware which I<\/p>\n<p>0:25:05.640,0:25:09.800<br \/>\nwould love to be able to do because then<\/p>\n<p>0:25:07.290,0:25:14.460<br \/>\nthe quality of the Apple hardware and<\/p>\n<p>0:25:09.800,0:25:17.880<br \/>\nthe ability to use Chrome OS on it would<\/p>\n<p>0:25:14.460,0:25:20.880<br \/>\nbe phenomenal and so I&#8217;m I&#8217;m I&#8217;m sort of<\/p>\n<p>0:25:17.880,0:25:23.100<br \/>\ninterested in that but I&#8217;m at them at<\/p>\n<p>0:25:20.880,0:25:27.390<br \/>\nthe moment I can&#8217;t destroy any of my<\/p>\n<p>0:25:23.100,0:25:29.460<br \/>\ncomputers so that is very the problem<\/p>\n<p>0:25:27.390,0:25:31.470<br \/>\nactually you know since you mentioned<\/p>\n<p>0:25:29.460,0:25:34.470<br \/>\nthat that was exactly believe my machine<\/p>\n<p>0:25:31.470,0:25:37.310<br \/>\nplaying and mostly because I wanted to<\/p>\n<p>0:25:34.470,0:25:41.850<br \/>\nhave the ability you can actually get<\/p>\n<p>0:25:37.310,0:25:45.750<br \/>\nChrome OS install into a MacBook the<\/p>\n<p>0:25:41.850,0:25:48.060<br \/>\nproblem is you cannot do currently do a<\/p>\n<p>0:25:45.750,0:25:51.210<br \/>\nboot and that&#8217;s what I wanted was to<\/p>\n<p>0:25:48.060,0:25:54.630<br \/>\nkeep Chrome OS on a part of the hard<\/p>\n<p>0:25:51.210,0:25:56.280<br \/>\ndrive and then Mac OS on the other side<\/p>\n<p>0:25:54.630,0:25:58.250<br \/>\nof the hard drive and that&#8217;s what you<\/p>\n<p>0:25:56.280,0:26:04.020<br \/>\ncannot do but you can technically today<\/p>\n<p>0:25:58.250,0:26:05.730<br \/>\nturn your old or slow Mac OS into a<\/p>\n<p>0:26:04.020,0:26:08.460<br \/>\nChromebook but then it will give them<\/p>\n<p>0:26:05.730,0:26:11.850<br \/>\nyou know will make it super fast again<\/p>\n<p>0:26:08.460,0:26:15.180<br \/>\nand and and so so for listeners you can<\/p>\n<p>0:26:11.850,0:26:17.100<br \/>\nalso do this to any Windows laptop any<\/p>\n<p>0:26:15.180,0:26:20.280<br \/>\nany PC laptop that you have hanging<\/p>\n<p>0:26:17.100,0:26:22.470<br \/>\naround if you take Chrome OS and put it<\/p>\n<p>0:26:20.280,0:26:24.960<br \/>\non to that laptop you have a new<\/p>\n<p>0:26:22.470,0:26:27.420<br \/>\nlightning fast computer because Chrome<\/p>\n<p>0:26:24.960,0:26:29.250<br \/>\nOS is such a small footprint on that<\/p>\n<p>0:26:27.420,0:26:30.720<br \/>\ndevice and it has to be obviously<\/p>\n<p>0:26:29.250,0:26:33.240<br \/>\ncompatible you have you know obviously<\/p>\n<p>0:26:30.720,0:26:34.919<br \/>\nthe hard respects have to match but you<\/p>\n<p>0:26:33.240,0:26:37.619<br \/>\nknow Chrome OS works on all<\/p>\n<p>0:26:34.919,0:26:40.619<br \/>\nvariety of systems so as long as your<\/p>\n<p>0:26:37.619,0:26:42.690<br \/>\nyour processor and and hardware are<\/p>\n<p>0:26:40.619,0:26:46.289<br \/>\ncompatible you can install the operating<\/p>\n<p>0:26:42.690,0:26:48.989<br \/>\nsystem on those computers and it will<\/p>\n<p>0:26:46.289,0:26:50.369<br \/>\nrevive it&#8217;ll give new life to a computer<\/p>\n<p>0:26:48.989,0:26:52.679<br \/>\nthat might be a little you know several<\/p>\n<p>0:26:50.369,0:26:56.220<br \/>\nyears old and maybe sluggish you know<\/p>\n<p>0:26:52.679,0:26:59.669<br \/>\nusing the big bulky windows you know<\/p>\n<p>0:26:56.220,0:27:02.239<br \/>\nwith no disrespect to that not that I<\/p>\n<p>0:26:59.669,0:27:05.279<br \/>\never hold punches against Microsoft but<\/p>\n<p>0:27:02.239,0:27:07.499<br \/>\num but the but the reality is is that<\/p>\n<p>0:27:05.279,0:27:09.600<br \/>\nyou can actually do that and you know<\/p>\n<p>0:27:07.499,0:27:12.239<br \/>\nfor those of you also out there who are<\/p>\n<p>0:27:09.600,0:27:14.249<br \/>\nthinking hardware and not sure about<\/p>\n<p>0:27:12.239,0:27:16.289<br \/>\noperating system I really highly<\/p>\n<p>0:27:14.249,0:27:18.330<br \/>\nrecommend thinking about putting you<\/p>\n<p>0:27:16.289,0:27:22.200<br \/>\nknow an ISO the image of the operating<\/p>\n<p>0:27:18.330,0:27:25.559<br \/>\nsystem for for Linux Mint or one of<\/p>\n<p>0:27:22.200,0:27:28.289<br \/>\nthose other flavors of Linux today the<\/p>\n<p>0:27:25.559,0:27:32.220<br \/>\nsoftware parody is there you can find an<\/p>\n<p>0:27:28.289,0:27:34.769<br \/>\nalmost across the board a compatible you<\/p>\n<p>0:27:32.220,0:27:37.919<br \/>\nknow alternative that is something that<\/p>\n<p>0:27:34.769,0:27:40.169<br \/>\nhas parity with all of the major you<\/p>\n<p>0:27:37.919,0:27:41.489<br \/>\nknow word processing or office suite<\/p>\n<p>0:27:40.169,0:27:44.279<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s LibreOffice which is a<\/p>\n<p>0:27:41.489,0:27:46.019<br \/>\nfantastic office suite it&#8217;s an<\/p>\n<p>0:27:44.279,0:27:48.539<br \/>\nalternative to Microsoft Office which is<\/p>\n<p>0:27:46.019,0:27:51.539<br \/>\nnot only free software meaning it is<\/p>\n<p>0:27:48.539,0:27:53.580<br \/>\nfree as in freedom but it&#8217;s also no cost<\/p>\n<p>0:27:51.539,0:27:56.759<br \/>\nmeaning that it is zero dollars to<\/p>\n<p>0:27:53.580,0:27:59.489<br \/>\ndownload and use and it has you know a<\/p>\n<p>0:27:56.759,0:28:03.749<br \/>\nword processor a spreadsheet workbook<\/p>\n<p>0:27:59.489,0:28:07.710<br \/>\nsoftware like Excel a keynote or<\/p>\n<p>0:28:03.749,0:28:08.759<br \/>\nPowerPoint alternative and another<\/p>\n<p>0:28:07.710,0:28:10.769<br \/>\napplication that&#8217;s sort of like<\/p>\n<p>0:28:08.759,0:28:14.100<br \/>\nMicrosoft Access where you can develop<\/p>\n<p>0:28:10.769,0:28:17.309<br \/>\napplications so in in essence you know<\/p>\n<p>0:28:14.100,0:28:18.539<br \/>\nwith with your browser and that office<\/p>\n<p>0:28:17.309,0:28:21.899<br \/>\nsuite you can do most of the<\/p>\n<p>0:28:18.539,0:28:23.730<br \/>\nproductivity software functions if not<\/p>\n<p>0:28:21.899,0:28:26.369<br \/>\nmore because you there&#8217;s a lot of<\/p>\n<p>0:28:23.730,0:28:30.779<br \/>\nsoftware out there for the Linux<\/p>\n<p>0:28:26.369,0:28:32.419<br \/>\nplatform Linux Mint itself you really<\/p>\n<p>0:28:30.779,0:28:35.519<br \/>\nyou really don&#8217;t have to worry about<\/p>\n<p>0:28:32.419,0:28:38.159<br \/>\nfeeling shutout in in that capacity<\/p>\n<p>0:28:35.519,0:28:39.809<br \/>\nthere are some things like Evernote that<\/p>\n<p>0:28:38.159,0:28:41.999<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re not going to be able to have on<\/p>\n<p>0:28:39.809,0:28:44.970<br \/>\nyour Linux laptop because Evernote<\/p>\n<p>0:28:41.999,0:28:47.099<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t produce a an official software<\/p>\n<p>0:28:44.970,0:28:48.840<br \/>\nfor that but there are alternatives you<\/p>\n<p>0:28:47.099,0:28:51.480<br \/>\nknow there&#8217;s there there are<\/p>\n<p>0:28:48.840,0:28:54.450<br \/>\nunofficial versions of the soft of other<\/p>\n<p>0:28:51.480,0:28:55.710<br \/>\nother software that works with every<\/p>\n<p>0:28:54.450,0:28:57.539<br \/>\nyour Evernote account and you can always<\/p>\n<p>0:28:55.710,0:29:00.659<br \/>\nuse Evernote web and things like that so<\/p>\n<p>0:28:57.539,0:29:03.990<br \/>\nI for one and I&#8217;m curious about you guys<\/p>\n<p>0:29:00.659,0:29:07.350<br \/>\nabout the how whetted you need to be<\/p>\n<p>0:29:03.990,0:29:09.179<br \/>\ntoday to hardware and before you answer<\/p>\n<p>0:29:07.350,0:29:11.070<br \/>\nthat and we close out the conversation I<\/p>\n<p>0:29:09.179,0:29:12.779<br \/>\nalso wanted to make a note that when<\/p>\n<p>0:29:11.070,0:29:14.039<br \/>\nFrancis was talking about Google Drive I<\/p>\n<p>0:29:12.779,0:29:16.470<br \/>\nthink it&#8217;s something that most people<\/p>\n<p>0:29:14.039,0:29:19.289<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t know which is that Google Drive is<\/p>\n<p>0:29:16.470,0:29:21.330<br \/>\nnot just going to drive.google.com and<\/p>\n<p>0:29:19.289,0:29:23.909<br \/>\naccessing your files in the cloud<\/p>\n<p>0:29:21.330,0:29:26.760<br \/>\nyou also have an application that you<\/p>\n<p>0:29:23.909,0:29:29.760<br \/>\ncan download to your desktop computer<\/p>\n<p>0:29:26.760,0:29:34.789<br \/>\nwhich it could be Windows or Mac and<\/p>\n<p>0:29:29.760,0:29:38.399<br \/>\nthat desktop computer software is<\/p>\n<p>0:29:34.789,0:29:40.950<br \/>\nidentical to Dropbox the only difference<\/p>\n<p>0:29:38.399,0:29:43.289<br \/>\nis that files that are Google specific<\/p>\n<p>0:29:40.950,0:29:46.260<br \/>\nGoogle Docs Google sheets Google slides<\/p>\n<p>0:29:43.289,0:29:47.279<br \/>\nthose only will those while you can see<\/p>\n<p>0:29:46.260,0:29:49.169<br \/>\nthem in Google Drive<\/p>\n<p>0:29:47.279,0:29:50.970<br \/>\nthey don&#8217;t actually download because<\/p>\n<p>0:29:49.169,0:29:53.250<br \/>\nthey live in the Google Drive on the<\/p>\n<p>0:29:50.970,0:29:55.529<br \/>\nGoogle servers and so when you click on<\/p>\n<p>0:29:53.250,0:29:59.309<br \/>\nany of those icons in Google Drive they<\/p>\n<p>0:29:55.529,0:30:02.190<br \/>\nopen in the web browser but the but any<\/p>\n<p>0:29:59.309,0:30:04.740<br \/>\nother file like a PDF or a word document<\/p>\n<p>0:30:02.190,0:30:06.539<br \/>\nwhere you keep it in its format or if<\/p>\n<p>0:30:04.740,0:30:09.330<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re a graphic designer and using<\/p>\n<p>0:30:06.539,0:30:11.580<br \/>\nInDesign the INDD file or an AI file in<\/p>\n<p>0:30:09.330,0:30:14.640<br \/>\nPhotoshop or whatever it is the the<\/p>\n<p>0:30:11.580,0:30:18.299<br \/>\nfiles that are not Google Docs or Google<\/p>\n<p>0:30:14.640,0:30:20.159<br \/>\nDrive specific they will be real files<\/p>\n<p>0:30:18.299,0:30:23.490<br \/>\nthat you can open up on your desktop so<\/p>\n<p>0:30:20.159,0:30:25.529<br \/>\nit&#8217;s it&#8217;s exactly like Dropbox with the<\/p>\n<p>0:30:23.490,0:30:28.890<br \/>\nadditional added benefits of being able<\/p>\n<p>0:30:25.529,0:30:30.690<br \/>\nto open up your Google Docs will sheets<\/p>\n<p>0:30:28.890,0:30:31.529<br \/>\nGoogle slides Google drawing whatever<\/p>\n<p>0:30:30.690,0:30:34.529<br \/>\nwhat-have-you<\/p>\n<p>0:30:31.529,0:30:36.960<br \/>\nin the browser and utilizing them so if<\/p>\n<p>0:30:34.529,0:30:40.049<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re if you&#8217;re thinking about those<\/p>\n<p>0:30:36.960,0:30:41.700<br \/>\noptions and like Francis said it&#8217;s very<\/p>\n<p>0:30:40.049,0:30:43.950<br \/>\nnominal to have a hundred gigabytes<\/p>\n<p>0:30:41.700,0:30:46.260<br \/>\nworth of additional storage space and<\/p>\n<p>0:30:43.950,0:30:50.419<br \/>\neven when you go up to the very large<\/p>\n<p>0:30:46.260,0:30:50.419<br \/>\nsizes the prices are still pretty good<\/p>\n<p>0:30:50.960,0:30:57.570<br \/>\nright there&#8217;s a there&#8217;s a segue a bit to<\/p>\n<p>0:30:56.070,0:31:00.539<br \/>\nwhat where I think you were going with<\/p>\n<p>0:30:57.570,0:31:01.870<br \/>\nyour comment before that before talking<\/p>\n<p>0:31:00.539,0:31:04.300<br \/>\nabout Google Drive<\/p>\n<p>0:31:01.870,0:31:09.820<br \/>\nthat I think there&#8217;s a there&#8217;s a sort of<\/p>\n<p>0:31:04.300,0:31:12.220<br \/>\na basic set of tools that an individual<\/p>\n<p>0:31:09.820,0:31:13.770<br \/>\nneeds to make sure they have access to<\/p>\n<p>0:31:12.220,0:31:16.150<br \/>\nyou were listing off a number of them<\/p>\n<p>0:31:13.770,0:31:18.250<br \/>\nand I think there&#8217;s a distinction I<\/p>\n<p>0:31:16.150,0:31:22.690<br \/>\ntried to destructor to draw distinction<\/p>\n<p>0:31:18.250,0:31:25.240<br \/>\noh it&#8217;s um a few years ago between it&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>0:31:22.690,0:31:28.930<br \/>\nsort of similar to the difference<\/p>\n<p>0:31:25.240,0:31:31.320<br \/>\nbetween noise and signal and what I<\/p>\n<p>0:31:28.930,0:31:35.860<br \/>\nwould I came away with is that there are<\/p>\n<p>0:31:31.320,0:31:38.530<br \/>\nfeatures or capabilities that are have<\/p>\n<p>0:31:35.860,0:31:41.890<br \/>\nto do with productivity and some that<\/p>\n<p>0:31:38.530,0:31:45.100<br \/>\nhave to do with convenience and I tried<\/p>\n<p>0:31:41.890,0:31:48.130<br \/>\nto draw a line went between the two and<\/p>\n<p>0:31:45.100,0:31:51.670<br \/>\nsay that that which affects my<\/p>\n<p>0:31:48.130,0:31:55.110<br \/>\nproductivity is sort of core so for<\/p>\n<p>0:31:51.670,0:31:57.870<br \/>\nexample having a word processor is core<\/p>\n<p>0:31:55.110,0:32:00.040<br \/>\nbut having a word processor will maybe<\/p>\n<p>0:31:57.870,0:32:03.850<br \/>\nsend the five percent of the features<\/p>\n<p>0:32:00.040,0:32:06.850<br \/>\nthat word offers is probably convenient<\/p>\n<p>0:32:03.850,0:32:09.490<br \/>\nmore about convenience than productivity<\/p>\n<p>0:32:06.850,0:32:12.300<br \/>\nbecause they don&#8217;t they I don&#8217;t use them<\/p>\n<p>0:32:09.490,0:32:15.640<br \/>\nhaving them maybe I might use one every<\/p>\n<p>0:32:12.300,0:32:17.170<br \/>\nfive years or something but I think<\/p>\n<p>0:32:15.640,0:32:19.270<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s a there&#8217;s a difference between<\/p>\n<p>0:32:17.170,0:32:21.100<br \/>\nthe two and it came up when I was<\/p>\n<p>0:32:19.270,0:32:25.300<br \/>\ntransitioning from having a feature<\/p>\n<p>0:32:21.100,0:32:27.730<br \/>\nphone plus PDA to buying a smart phone<\/p>\n<p>0:32:25.300,0:32:29.110<br \/>\nso smart phones became the rage and I<\/p>\n<p>0:32:27.730,0:32:31.300<br \/>\nwas sort of on the sidelines watching<\/p>\n<p>0:32:29.110,0:32:32.740<br \/>\nand thinking well why should I upgrade<\/p>\n<p>0:32:31.300,0:32:33.940<br \/>\nand I was a little bit a little bit like<\/p>\n<p>0:32:32.740,0:32:35.830<br \/>\na booster I said you know what&#8217;s the<\/p>\n<p>0:32:33.940,0:32:38.100<br \/>\ndifference between having a knapsack not<\/p>\n<p>0:32:35.830,0:32:40.750<br \/>\nsome machine a lots of devices in it<\/p>\n<p>0:32:38.100,0:32:43.030<br \/>\nversus having a smart phone and at the<\/p>\n<p>0:32:40.750,0:32:45.460<br \/>\ntime as I was sort of investigating and<\/p>\n<p>0:32:43.030,0:32:47.070<br \/>\nwatching people use them and I was<\/p>\n<p>0:32:45.460,0:32:49.390<br \/>\nsaying to myself well it looks as if<\/p>\n<p>0:32:47.070,0:32:51.850<br \/>\nit&#8217;s more about convenience for them<\/p>\n<p>0:32:49.390,0:32:54.100<br \/>\nbecause if I carry all of those those<\/p>\n<p>0:32:51.850,0:32:55.660<br \/>\ndevices in a knapsack are they more<\/p>\n<p>0:32:54.100,0:32:58.120<br \/>\nproductive than I am because they are<\/p>\n<p>0:32:55.660,0:33:00.100<br \/>\ncarrying a one smartphone and I said<\/p>\n<p>0:32:58.120,0:33:02.260<br \/>\nwell it&#8217;s more convenient because<\/p>\n<p>0:33:00.100,0:33:04.860<br \/>\neverything is fits into a smaller form<\/p>\n<p>0:33:02.260,0:33:08.410<br \/>\nfactor but are they more productive and<\/p>\n<p>0:33:04.860,0:33:11.830<br \/>\nfor a long time I I said no no no no no<\/p>\n<p>0:33:08.410,0:33:13.750<br \/>\nno no and then the first apps started to<\/p>\n<p>0:33:11.830,0:33:15.340<br \/>\nappear that were useful to me anyway<\/p>\n<p>0:33:13.750,0:33:17.490<br \/>\nthat<\/p>\n<p>0:33:15.340,0:33:20.620<br \/>\ncapabilities they&#8217;d use something from<\/p>\n<p>0:33:17.490,0:33:22.090<br \/>\nfrom ik for example a phone call would<\/p>\n<p>0:33:20.620,0:33:24.340<br \/>\nimmediately get captured in your<\/p>\n<p>0:33:22.090,0:33:26.770<br \/>\ncontacts or you could pull up a contact<\/p>\n<p>0:33:24.340,0:33:29.950<br \/>\nand so that app actually crossed the<\/p>\n<p>0:33:26.770,0:33:32.050<br \/>\ncapability between the contact manager<\/p>\n<p>0:33:29.950,0:33:34.360<br \/>\nand the phone app and that&#8217;s when I said<\/p>\n<p>0:33:32.050,0:33:36.490<br \/>\nokay well that&#8217;s one example of a new<\/p>\n<p>0:33:34.360,0:33:38.680<br \/>\nproductive solution and I should get the<\/p>\n<p>0:33:36.490,0:33:40.420<br \/>\nsmart phone if I want that particular<\/p>\n<p>0:33:38.680,0:33:42.450<br \/>\nfeature that&#8217;s not a matter of<\/p>\n<p>0:33:40.420,0:33:44.650<br \/>\nconvenience that&#8217;s a matter of<\/p>\n<p>0:33:42.450,0:33:47.050<br \/>\nproductivity because know I can do<\/p>\n<p>0:33:44.650,0:33:50.770<br \/>\nsomething but I can&#8217;t do with having a<\/p>\n<p>0:33:47.050,0:33:55.270<br \/>\nphone over here and contact a contact<\/p>\n<p>0:33:50.770,0:33:57.490<br \/>\ndatabase on my PDA over there so I tried<\/p>\n<p>0:33:55.270,0:34:01.120<br \/>\nto draw that distinction I found it kind<\/p>\n<p>0:33:57.490,0:34:03.910<br \/>\nof helpful in that I pay more attention<\/p>\n<p>0:34:01.120,0:34:06.010<br \/>\nto core productivity than than<\/p>\n<p>0:34:03.910,0:34:07.960<br \/>\nconvenience um<\/p>\n<p>0:34:06.010,0:34:11.500<br \/>\nand that resonates at all with your guys<\/p>\n<p>0:34:07.960,0:34:13.720<br \/>\nexperience I I&#8217;m I&#8217;m I&#8217;m unfortunately<\/p>\n<p>0:34:11.500,0:34:15.970<br \/>\non the opposite side of you and Augusto<\/p>\n<p>0:34:13.720,0:34:18.130<br \/>\nhere because not because I don&#8217;t agree I<\/p>\n<p>0:34:15.970,0:34:22.770<br \/>\nactually agree with you it&#8217;s just that I<\/p>\n<p>0:34:18.130,0:34:26.260<br \/>\nstill carry so many pieces of technology<\/p>\n<p>0:34:22.770,0:34:29.260<br \/>\nI&#8217;m a bit of a I&#8217;m a bit of a technology<\/p>\n<p>0:34:26.260,0:34:31.990<br \/>\nhoarder in the sense that I I still<\/p>\n<p>0:34:29.260,0:34:34.810<br \/>\ncarry my Kindle 3G that I absolutely<\/p>\n<p>0:34:31.990,0:34:37.420<br \/>\nadore and I refuse to upgrade to the<\/p>\n<p>0:34:34.810,0:34:40.300<br \/>\npaperwhite until it dies and it still<\/p>\n<p>0:34:37.420,0:34:41.860<br \/>\nkeeps on truckin\u2019 and an Amazon you know<\/p>\n<p>0:34:40.300,0:34:45.160<br \/>\nkeeps sending me these deals you know<\/p>\n<p>0:34:41.860,0:34:47.320<br \/>\nlike hey if you turn in your Kindle then<\/p>\n<p>0:34:45.160,0:34:49.150<br \/>\nwe&#8217;ll be in an upgrade to the paperwhite<\/p>\n<p>0:34:47.320,0:34:52.060<br \/>\nthen you&#8217;ll be able to do so and I&#8217;m<\/p>\n<p>0:34:49.150,0:34:54.700<br \/>\nlike why it&#8217;s great I love this device<\/p>\n<p>0:34:52.060,0:34:56.620<br \/>\nand and I&#8217;ve had it for years and years<\/p>\n<p>0:34:54.700,0:34:57.970<br \/>\nand years now and it just keeps on<\/p>\n<p>0:34:56.620,0:35:00.280<br \/>\nworking and it&#8217;s a single function<\/p>\n<p>0:34:57.970,0:35:02.560<br \/>\ndevice meaning that when I&#8217;m reading I&#8217;m<\/p>\n<p>0:35:00.280,0:35:05.110<br \/>\nonly reading and that is highly<\/p>\n<p>0:35:02.560,0:35:07.270<br \/>\nproductive for me and so I carry my<\/p>\n<p>0:35:05.110,0:35:09.310<br \/>\nmobile tablet and I carry two laptops<\/p>\n<p>0:35:07.270,0:35:11.290<br \/>\nand I carry you know my phone and I<\/p>\n<p>0:35:09.310,0:35:14.470<br \/>\ncarry all the chargers and so I am<\/p>\n<p>0:35:11.290,0:35:16.780<br \/>\nreally really bad about the the idea of<\/p>\n<p>0:35:14.470,0:35:19.120<br \/>\ntraveling light when it comes to<\/p>\n<p>0:35:16.780,0:35:21.040<br

most<\/p>\n<p>0:37:00.950,0:37:08.390<br \/>\nlikely will be Android so there there is<\/p>\n<p>0:37:04.729,0:37:11.420<br \/>\nyou know that there is things and<\/p>\n<p>0:37:08.390,0:37:14.660<br

a<\/p>\n<p>0:37:25.519,0:37:28.279<br \/>\nsolution yes<\/p>\n<p>0:37:26.479,0:37:32.390<br \/>\nall of these software&#8217;s has have<\/p>\n<p>0:37:28.279,0:37:34.009<br \/>\nequivalents I will day

\/>\neffectiveness the iOS keep me focused<\/p>\n<p>0:38:27.780,0:38:34.890<br \/>\nand pretty effective and as I said can I<\/p>\n<p>0:38:31.800,0:38:38.369<br \/>\nwork on a Windows yes I can work on a<\/p>\n<p>0:38:34.890,0:38:40.859<br \/>\nWindows I did Windows for many years and<\/p>\n<p>0:38:38.369,0:38:44.880<br \/>\nI have keep myself up to date because<\/p>\n<p>0:38:40.859,0:38:47.010<br \/>\nwell I coach people who lives in Windows<\/p>\n<p>0:38:44.880,0:38:49.560<br \/>\nI work with customers who live in the<\/p>\n<p>0:38:47.010,0:38:51.480<br \/>\nwindows and HUD I deal with businesses<\/p>\n<p>0:38:49.560,0:38:55.619<br \/>\nwho lives in window so I want to be<\/p>\n<p>0:38:51.480,0:38:59.670<br \/>\nproficient but I may be because I am<\/p>\n<p>0:38:55.619,0:39:02.630<br \/>\nprofitable I don&#8217;t want my own life to<\/p>\n<p>0:38:59.670,0:39:02.630<br \/>\nbe on a Windows computer<\/p>\n<p>0:39:03.190,0:39:07.510<br \/>\nand I can understand that I mean you<\/p>\n<p>0:39:05.230,0:39:11.440<br \/>\nknow the the the ability to use a<\/p>\n<p>0:39:07.510,0:39:13.780<br \/>\nplatform that is more limited in its not<\/p>\n<p>0:39:11.440,0:39:17.710<br \/>\nlimited but more focused in the way in<\/p>\n<p>0:39:13.780,0:39:20.230<br \/>\nwhich its user interface is designed so<\/p>\n<p>0:39:17.710,0:39:22.000<br \/>\nthat you can really be in that you know<\/p>\n<p>0:39:20.230,0:39:24.400<br \/>\nlike when you&#8217;re working in on iPad like<\/p>\n<p>0:39:22.000,0:39:27.130<br \/>\nyou are used to you&#8217;re working and you<\/p>\n<p>0:39:24.400,0:39:28.810<br \/>\nhave a and an app open you know I mean<\/p>\n<p>0:39:27.130,0:39:31.390<br \/>\nand now you can have multiple<\/p>\n<p>0:39:28.810,0:39:34.060<br \/>\napplications open the same time this<\/p>\n<p>0:39:31.390,0:39:35.890<br \/>\nidea of having multiple apps tasking in<\/p>\n<p>0:39:34.060,0:39:37.600<br \/>\nfront of you is great for being able to<\/p>\n<p>0:39:35.890,0:39:39.850<br \/>\ntake data from one and do something in<\/p>\n<p>0:39:37.600,0:39:42.040<br \/>\nthe other but you&#8217;re really you&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p>0:39:39.850,0:39:44.140<br \/>\nreally forced to focus because it&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>0:39:42.040,0:39:46.000<br \/>\ntaken over your entire screen and you&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p>0:39:44.140,0:39:48.130<br \/>\njust in that one particular application<\/p>\n<p>0:39:46.000,0:39:51.190<br \/>\nso I can see the benefits of that<\/p>\n<p>0:39:48.130,0:39:54.100<br \/>\nlimited focus or that that ability to<\/p>\n<p>0:39:51.190,0:39:56.230<br \/>\nfocus within and on a tablet environment<\/p>\n<p>0:39:54.100,0:39:58.990<br \/>\nand you know I would just say that the<\/p>\n<p>0:39:56.230,0:40:00.430<br \/>\nthe big things for me is to have some<\/p>\n<p>0:39:58.990,0:40:04.330<br \/>\nkind of productivity suite like a<\/p>\n<p>0:40:00.430,0:40:06.160<br \/>\nMicrosoft Office or LibreOffice on the<\/p>\n<p>0:40:04.330,0:40:08.380<br \/>\ncomputing device whatever that might be<\/p>\n<p>0:40:06.160,0:40:10.480<br \/>\nin my case you know Google Drive on the<\/p>\n<p>0:40:08.380,0:40:12.670<br \/>\ntablet and having Google Drive and that<\/p>\n<p>0:40:10.480,0:40:16.870<br \/>\naccessible across my platforms is my<\/p>\n<p>0:40:12.670,0:40:19.870<br \/>\npreferred choice and then some kind of<\/p>\n<p>0:40:16.870,0:40:22.090<br \/>\nsecurity and backup technology now for<\/p>\n<p>0:40:19.870,0:40:24.280<br \/>\nthose of you who are graphic designers<\/p>\n<p>0:40:22.090,0:40:27.010<br \/>\nor engineers where you need CAD or<\/p>\n<p>0:40:24.280,0:40:31.180<br \/>\nsomething else like that we are on the<\/p>\n<p>0:40:27.010,0:40:32.680<br \/>\nthe precipice of the technology to allow<\/p>\n<p>0:40:31.180,0:40:35.980<br \/>\nall of these things to be cloud-based<\/p>\n<p>0:40:32.680,0:40:38.050<br \/>\nand I&#8217;m gonna make the prediction that<\/p>\n<p>0:40:35.980,0:40:39.910<br \/>\neventually all of these technologies<\/p>\n<p>0:40:38.050,0:40:43.630<br \/>\nwill have either a cloud-based solution<\/p>\n<p>0:40:39.910,0:40:46.810<br \/>\nor an app mobile application such that<\/p>\n<p>0:40:43.630,0:40:49.210<br \/>\nthe operating system as we know it from<\/p>\n<p>0:40:46.810,0:40:53.320<br \/>\na desktop perspective will become less<\/p>\n<p>0:40:49.210,0:40:55.690<br \/>\nand less important and the browser-based<\/p>\n<p>0:40:53.320,0:40:57.790<br \/>\nsoftware would become or the or the<\/p>\n<p>0:40:55.690,0:41:01.810<br \/>\nmobile application platform depending<\/p>\n<p>0:40:57.790,0:41:02.710<br \/>\nupon what Google does with Andromeda or<\/p>\n<p>0:41:01.810,0:41:06.610<br \/>\nyou know whatever<\/p>\n<p>0:41:02.710,0:41:08.440<br \/>\nfuschia is going to be the the idea that<\/p>\n<p>0:41:06.610,0:41:12.280<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re going to basically have the<\/p>\n<p>0:41:08.440,0:41:14.020<br \/>\noption of using that software platform<\/p>\n<p>0:41:12.280,0:41:16.690<br \/>\nindependent because you can access it<\/p>\n<p>0:41:14.020,0:41:20.560<br \/>\nfrom the browser so with that in mind<\/p>\n<p>0:41:16.690,0:41:23.530<br \/>\nyou know I I really think that looking<\/p>\n<p>0:41:20.560,0:41:25.780<br \/>\nfor alternatives in the cloud if you&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p>0:41:23.530,0:41:27.280<br \/>\ngoing to be on multiple platforms is<\/p>\n<p>0:41:25.780,0:41:29.170<br \/>\nobviously important but also if you&#8217;re<\/p>\n<p>0:41:27.280,0:41:31.930<br \/>\ngoing to be on multiple devices from a<\/p>\n<p>0:41:29.170,0:41:34.329<br \/>\nphone to a tablet to a laptop to<\/p>\n<p>0:41:31.930,0:41:37.660<br \/>\npotentially some kind of communal cross<\/p>\n<p>0:41:34.329,0:41:40.750<br \/>\ndevice like a surface which is not

themselves<\/p>\n<p>0:41:47.940,0:41:53.700<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s no one right answer regardless<\/p>\n<p>0:41:51.460,0:41:56.470<br \/>\nof what the advertisers might tell you<\/p>\n<p>0:41:53.700,0:41:59.589<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re all constructing or ecosystems to<\/p>\n<p>0:41:56.470,0:42:01.900<br \/>\nserve our peculiar needs I think back to<\/p>\n<p>0:41:59.589,0:42:04.420<br \/>\nwhat I said before it that if you can<\/p>\n<p>0:42:01.900,0:42:08.109<br \/>\nseparate productivity from convenience<\/p>\n<p>0:42:04.420,0:42:12.490<br \/>\nand make sure that the productive bases<\/p>\n<p>0:42:08.109,0:42:16.180<br \/>\nare covered and then look to convenience<\/p>\n<p>0:42:12.490,0:42:17.829<br \/>\nas a secondary attribute I think if<\/p>\n<p>0:42:16.180,0:42:19.930<br \/>\neveryone could do that then they would<\/p>\n<p>0:42:17.829,0:42:20.800<br \/>\nit would force the kind of answers that<\/p>\n<p>0:42:19.930,0:42:23.230<br \/>\nwork for them<\/p>\n<p>0:42:20.800,0:42:25.170<br \/>\nbut if it&#8217;s all it&#8217;s always gonna be an<\/p>\n<p>0:42:23.230,0:42:28.780<br \/>\nindividual solution that fits your<\/p>\n<p>0:42:25.170,0:42:31.560<br \/>\nparticular needs it&#8217;s just it&#8217;s you your<\/p>\n<p>0:42:28.780,0:42:34.119<br \/>\nhabits your preferences your behaviors<\/p>\n<p>0:42:31.560,0:42:36.130<br \/>\nbut at the same time you&#8217;ve got to be<\/p>\n<p>0:42:34.119,0:42:39.430<br \/>\nproductive because that&#8217;s your core so<\/p>\n<p>0:42:36.130,0:42:43.270<br \/>\nto speak the three of us well we keep<\/p>\n<p>0:42:39.430,0:42:45.760<br \/>\nhigh levels of productivity to have such<\/p>\n<p>0:42:43.270,0:42:48.730<br \/>\na different setup and what Frances says<\/p>\n<p>0:42:45.760,0:42:50.890<br \/>\nis really the key it doesn&#8217;t matter it<\/p>\n<p>0:42:48.730,0:42:54.040<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t matter if you like it or don&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>0:42:50.890,0:42:56.470<br \/>\nlike the iOS what matters is that the<\/p>\n<p>0:42:54.040,0:42:58.990<br \/>\ntool you&#8217;re going to use is the tool<\/p>\n<p>0:42:56.470,0:43:00.760<br \/>\nthat is going to allow you to be more<\/p>\n<p>0:42:58.990,0:43:03.760<br \/>\nproductive and if something changed<\/p>\n<p>0:43:00.760,0:43:06.819<br

heartbeat<\/p>\n<p>0:43:08.589,0:43:11.890<br \/>\nabsolutely I think it&#8217;s important for<\/p>\n<p>0:43:10.150,0:43:14.440<br \/>\npeople to remember that you know it&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>0:43:11.890,0:43:16.839<br \/>\nit&#8217;s not the hammer and the chisel but<\/p>\n<p>0:43:14.440,0:43:19.720<br \/>\nit&#8217;s the it&#8217;s the sculptor you

any<\/p>\n<p>0:43:29.670,0:43:33.630<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re in front of us and we&#8217;re gonna<\/p>\n<p>0:43:31.559,0:43:35.670<br \/>\nmake the best use of it and that&#8217;s
