Lifehacker’s MacBook Migrant experiment has barely gotten started, but unfortunately it turns out the MacBook I’m using has a defective AirPort wireless card, which pretty much renders it useless for the purposes of the exercise. I’m hoping that Apple will arrange a replacement machine, but it’s unlikely that will happen in time for the schedule next week.
While the MacBook Migrant project doesn’t start officially until next week, I have been spending time setting up the machine while fielding lots of helpful tips and the occasional nasty comment. Two pieces of reader advice have already proved very useful to me as a keyboard shortcut junkie.
Whenever I whinge about my PC experience, Lifehacker readers often suggest I should use a Mac instead. Next week, I’m going to give it a try and see just how easy it is to switch from one OS to the other by using a MacBook all week as my main machine.
