Well, this morning I have good news……….Finally, after a long wait in the UK and Europe, we have a new model Mac Pro available to order!

The new model is a radical change to the stereotypical desktop computer, as you’d expect only from Apple, disposing of (entirely) the last bastions of 90’s technology  (spinning hard drives)and moving into late 2013. Now, this new model is not going to appeal to everyone (that is for sure), but for the seriously power-hungry, these machines are going to be the way forward. Realistically I’m expecting 3D artists, video folks and scientists to want the new Pro, but of course there’ll be the few Mac fans with a lot of spare money who ‘just have to have one’ (and with funds available, why not?).

Starting at £2,499 (rising to nearly £8,000 for the real high end, and that’s without important stuff like a monitor….), will you be my first client to be transferred to one?

One final thought for today – following on from my post the other day, I was reminded of a recent job where a client was being harassed by an ex-employee over matters they shouldn’t have known anything about. Turns out that they were monitoring their employer’s email! Additionally, most services with financial information allow you to reset their passwords by them emailing you a link. If someone knows, or guesses, your passwords, imagine how easy it is for them to do this and delete the evidence. If this resulted in credit or debit card fraud, you may also find it difficult to reclaim any money stolen. So, bear that in mind when you set simple passwords for email. Change them today if there’s any danger anyone else knows your mail password(s).

I’ll be back tomorrow with a new Product Feature Friday, this time on TextExpander. Have a great day!
