While the below story is strong on the mention of Windows and short on Mac’s, I thought it was important enough to post. As you may have guessed, I use Mac’s in my home office. So, while you are reading this story, insert the word Mac OS in place of Windows.
Desktop replacement laptops and a brave new world of telecom options. For some, it’s a desk in one corner of the bedroom; for others, it’s a book-lined study overlooking the ninth hole. Whatever your environs, it’s hardly news that today you can set up a home office with most of the functionality of the average corporation — and you get to work in your pajamas.
