MacsPlus moves to Minnesota ______________________________________________________________________ May 2012

For mostly personal reasons, MacsPlus has relocated to Minnesota.

We have done our best to transfer clients to a quality service company. I agreed in 2012 to link my website to them for a year, and I did so for at least 6 months longer.

Today, in late 2026, we are centered in Plymouth, MN and because Apple has made supporting their products challenging (because we would be competition for the Apple Stores).

For those who must deal with the Microsoft OS, I have tried the current beta version of Windows 8. It is quite different from any previous interface, and I am not impressed (except for their ability to not 'get it'). More later.

Many people like Apple's OS. "macOS". The integration with the phone (do text messages from either or both) is a big plus. But people seldom have had the experiences with the really old, Legacy Legacy Mac OS 6, 7, 8, and 9. Throughout those systems there were keyboard shortcuts that made computer use easier.

Then Apple made the Huge leap the OS X. X as in Roman Numeral 10, X as in UniX because the the underlying system is based on a Unix version called FreeBSD. Everything was rewritten. The silly and fun "easter eggs" were gone. But the keybaoard shortcuts are almost entirely the same, 2 or 3 may have changed. Apple did this for their customer base to make the transition smoother.

Remember Apple Server? We re-create the experience and it connects to all workstations and laptops.

Mac OS Server was a smooth thransition to mass storage for your home office or major business, it was that scaleable. Today we use PC components to create a mass storage system for your needs, including planning for the future. For SOHO startups, we can possibly repurpose an old computer and make it work at modern speeds. Alternatively we can substitute fiber optic networks for ethernet, or come back to reality with Ethernet at any current speed. Anything is possible based on your needs, and our servers use the best protocols and methods for keeping your files safe, backed up, and as private as you wish.
