I’ve got a bunch of Macs. Why? Well, I guess I’m a Mac-Rat. They just seem to multiply. I’ve got a Mac Mini. Wait, two Mac Minis. An Air. An old PowerBook. An old iMac. A Cube. An old iBook. And don’t get me started on my iOS devices.
I’ve got a user account on each of the Macs. Why? I’m stupid, that’s why. Well, I thought I was being smart but really I’ve just created a major headache for myself.
Sync this. Sync that. I’m not sure how I managed before Dropbox to be honest. But even Dropbox can’t create the peace I now seek. I’ve over-complicated things and now I will simplify things.
Tonight I removed all files from the Mac mini that my wife, Michelle uses. Michelle, it’s all yers. Have fun. I won’t be pushing you out of your chair anymore or taking over your screen with Screen Sharing. After I am positive all my personal files are removed, I’m going to delete my user account. One down, a crap-load to go.
My goal is simple. Mac Mini at work. MacBook Air for everything else. There’s still a bit of user management and file syncing I’ll have to do but reducing my number of accounts to two from a zillion has got to help.
