Yesterday I posted a blog post about my mum and her expectations from the new version of Mac OS X Leopard. And there was a comment that she cannot be satisfied user, when she would like to have some improvements in the operating system.
My mum is an older lady and she uses her computer as a communication center to stay connected with her friends. Her main applications are:
- Pages – for writing her stories and recipes /as she is really an excellent cooker and she knows how to make the people happier with her food/
- iPhoto – to store all the photos she takes /hundreds of photos of her two dogs and a cat/
- iChat and AdiumX – as all the people in the street use these instant messengers to stay in touch
- Skype – as she loves to speak with friends from other towns
- Mail – to write emails to her two sons to distribute orders which must be done.
Additionally, she connects her mobile phone to the computer to synchronize her contacts and appointments in the mobile phone with the computer. As she likes everything to be in the right order, she must organize her day well.
She loves her iMac. She like Dock for applications. With Microsoft Windows, she had to search for the applications, but with Mac OS X, all the most important applications are always visible. And adding new ones to Dock is very easy.
She also likes the dependencies among different applications. She loves, when she can send easily a photo of her dog directly from iPhoto. Or adding a contact to the Address Books, which is directly visible in AdiumX and her mobile phone.
But as she is satisfied user of Mac OS X, she sees opportunities for improvements. It is nothing special. I am satisfied user of iPod, but I can imagine getting it better.
