Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Finally – A Hotel Business Center Even Mac-Using Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Can Love!
I’m not a Mac® user. I do think they’re wonderful computers but like anyone who likes a challenge, I live in a Microsoft® Windows® world. I’ve always wondered how Mac users who travel get along in a predominately Windows world? After all, most hotel business centers usually have low-end, Windows-based desktop computers (to keep costs down). What happens to Mac users? Do they have to be bilingual and speak two computing languages? Or, is this Windows predominance what forces them to carry an Apple® laptop with them every time they leave home (like one of our CLNC® Mentors who carries her slick Mac with her on every road trip we make)?
The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Deerfield, Illinois, the site of our May 2010 and 2011 CLNC® 6-Day Certification Seminars, finally got things right for those who are computer-impaired. Instead of requiring you to haul your Mac along, they put higher-end, dual-boot Macs in the business center allowing them to cater to almost every computer user (except for the Linux geeks). They’ve given their guests the best of both computing worlds.
This is a terrific idea that should be the business model for the future (or until Microsoft finally buys and dismantles Apple). I’ve always said “Can’t we just all get along?” Finally somebody took me up on it, at least in the computing world. The world would be a better place (and require less rebooting) if only more business centers were this progressive.
