Great, I loved the Apple experience, it took me 2 to 3 weeks to get used to the different way of using the computer. Your sure to see me changing in the near future, for all the software you don't have available for a Mac, you can still us you PC software anyway, you just need a software called VMware the use it as a PC, difference, it wont crash!!!

Original:

Because of my comments on my blog, Apple has decided to lend to me a MacBook Air, I will be testing it and giving some feed back to them about the like and not like. The software we need to do our job can be available for use on Apple computers.

I'll let you know about my adventures with the Airbook.

Good news for the area, we are getting a casino in Mont-Tremblant (Quebec, Canada). Looking forward to having some of you spending some time here... Skiing, Golfing, Fishing, Hunting or even GAMBLING.

Not finished yet, but it will look good. Scheduled opening on the 24th June 2009.

Flights directly to Mont-Tremblant airport from New York!

I was hesitating for so long about making a switch to a MacBook that I lost most of my file in the mean time! Darn PC, not the first time I have an issues, hope this will push me faster to make a move. I don't know about you but loosing all your pictures because your PC crashed is ridiculous, it's like if my house just burned and I lost all my family pictures. That is when I realized that I couldn't care less about the work on my computer, everything came back to basic values.

I almost lost the first year or two of my sons pictures and videos, memories that nobody can replace. I was lucky enough to be able to get my pictures back with a specialist, but I lost a lot of work. Anyway, I got what was most important, a part of my life, DON'T LOSE YOURS!!!

My reply to specify:

"VIRUS is the difference between the Mac and the PC, I forgot to tell you that I got a Virus.... Nothing to do about the motherboard! What the don't say when you have a password for the users, you cannot recuperate what is on the PC except for "my documents"."

I'm very interested in anything from Apple, I'll keep you updated on interesting freebies and inexpensive software for the iPhone. The info will come from other sites, news papers and magazines. For now it will be experience from others since I don't have one yet.

Take a look on the site, it may convince you to get one!!! Launch in june 2008, more than 60 millions downloads are made up to now!

«Dear seller, we shoud have a Home Stager come and help us out.»

A HOME WHAT?

I don't know about your area, but I work in an region that very few people herd about it. Even worse, we don't have a French translation that we can use that really defines home staging, we say it in English, so after a minute trying to explain this to a client I finally get an answer: " if they don't like the house they don't have to buy it and if I do some changes, maybe, just maybe the buyers won't like it anyway!", well I know that Pink and purple won't help!!!

How do you convince you stubborn clients to use a home stager?

About Home Stagers

I must get a new home stager sending me there proposition each week. They're "growing" in my back yard!!!

I'm not sure that most home stagers are qualified to do the job, there's a course we can take that last a few days to be a so called specialist.

I honestly don't thing that anybody can do this without a minimum of experience or training. It's easy to unclutter, but decorating need a certain touch to it, it's like selling, some are born with it, some not.
