E-Books and Law School

Mosey on over to Social Media Law Student and check out my article on E-Books and Law School !

boot camp

I have to put windows on my macbook for exams and I really would rather not. I truly have no other options with the exam software we use, but I like OS X so much more. I’m trying to decide if it might even be worth it to just buy a little netbook with XP for this [...]

Macs and the Law

Traditionally, legal practice seems to have been conducted on personal computers running Windows. Most legal software (Abacus, Needles, ProDoc) runs on PC based machines and in the past there was no way to work around that impediment. However, with Apple’s new operating system, OS X (v. 10.5), a feature called Boot Camp is included where [...]
