One of my favorite CLNC amigos asked me whether or not she should purchase Microsoft Office 365 for her Mac. Another Certified Legal Nurse Consultant asked me the same question about the Office apps for her iPad. Even though they are two different questions, I thought I’d address them both here.
Yesterday morning, well before most RNs are groping about in the dark for their first cup of coffee, I went into my office and noticed my computer was shut down. That’s pretty abnormal for me as I usually leave it running 24/7. In fact, I only shut it down when I travel, take it to the office or I bring it home from the office. So to find it shut off was disconcerting.
One thing for sure about operating systems (OS) is that they will be upgraded. Another thing we know for sure is that the operating system upgrade will be buggy – at least at first. I know that all Certified Legal Nurse Consultants depend upon LegalNurse.com to keep ourselves on the front-lines of legal nurse consulting technology and, we do the best we can do. But when it comes to operating system upgrades, I must say, in my experience, it’s usually “downloader beware.”
Now that the holiday shopping season is over it’s time for all Certified Legal Nurse Consultants to take a few minutes and make sure that their computers survived the shopping stress. There’s all sorts of things that get installed on our computers while shopping and surfing the web. These include relatively harmless things such as tracking cookies and seriously harmful things such as malware.
