Many of my clients maintain two homes and want full computer access wherever they go. Some have a laptop, others have two iMacs. Often, keeping things current between their computers becomes a hassle.

A laptops is a viable solution if you don’t mind carrying it and you don’t need a big screen. Two iMacs gives you big screens but you have to copy your files, sync your information and update both computers as new software becomes available.

A third option is to buy one Mac Mini and then just purchase a monitor, keyboard and mouse for each location. (You can even use your current keyboard and mouse with the Mini.) The Mac-Mini is a complete computer, with a DVD drive, 5 USB ports and 2GB or 4GB of RAM and your choice of Hard Drive sizes.

The Mini is just 6.5 x 6.5 x 2 inches and weighs less than 3 pounds, making it really easy to carry back and forth. You just unplug it from one monitor and keyboard, travel, then plug it in to your other monitor when you arrive. Read all the tech specifications here.

It’s a great solution that will eliminate a lot of hassle and extra work so that you can just arrive and start Mac-ing!

Favorite iPhone App of the Month: Solitaire

Admit it–you like to play Solitaire. It relaxes you, clears your mind and it’s fun. So why not play on your iPhone? There are a lot of Solitaire games available in the App store. My favorite is Sol Free Solitaire, with 6 free versions of the game including 2 versions of Klondike and Baker’s Game.

Instead of dragging cards, just tap once on the card you want to move, then tap where you want to move it.
