A double life: OS X, Windows, productivity, email
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
Martin Gordon raises an interesting question 
.
Now that his iMac boots into Windows as well as Mac OS X, and he needs to spend some time in both OSes, how can he get easy access to his email, calendar and other data in either OS?
His solution is to push everything to the Web, in particular to Gmail and Google Calendar. He no longer uses Gmail’s POP access to read his emails in Mail.app.
Finding a decent online platform-independent RSS reader is more of a challenge.
He seems aware of the problems that a Web 2.0-focussed life raises, access to your information without an Internet connection and data security/backups. Still he is going forward in faith, confident that they can be overcome.
