Recently I purchased a great product to go along side my Apple Mac Mini. It’s called ProCare and it helps me get a lot out of my Mac. For just £79 a year I get up to 52 training sessions - 1 per week and 156 technical support incidents - 3 per week along a yearly tune up, and screen, keyboard clean to ensure that my Mac is running at it’s best. This is a fantastic service and I’m surprised that no PC maker has thought of an idea like this!
I have already had my first training session and it was really good to be able to learn off an Apple expert, and get answers to the questions I had, without the feeling that I was being stupid for asking them, as well as getting the chance to work with files I had created, and get advice as to how to get them to work in the way I wanted.
Apple Mac’s may not be the market leading home computer, but couple the ProCare service with their fantastic computers and I think they are on to winner. Add in the fantastic .mac service, iLife ’06 and iWork ’06 and you definitely have a winning combo. I think in the future we will see Apple Computer becoming more popular in the home, due to their ease of use, and the proliferation of Apple Stores around the country.
