Ich hatte schon lange vor etwas über Randy Pauschs "Last Lecture" zu posten, weil mich diese (bzw. das Video von dieser) wirklich sehr bewegt hat. Ich weiß nicht, warum ich es wieder vergessen habe – aber als ich heute mein Bücherregal durchsucht habe, ist mir Das Buch "The Last Lecture" ins Auge gefallen. Ich habe das mal als Zeichen genommen, es mir selbst noch einmal anzusehen und sowohl das Buch – als auch das Video wärmstens weiterzuempfehlen. Als kleine Erläuterung hier ein kleiner Auszug aus dem Buch:
…When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn’t have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave–"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"–wasn’t about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have…and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.

aycan has been using Apple Macintosh computers to run its medical solutions for over 10 years due in part to their intuitive interfaces and overall reliability. A recent study by IBM validates these and other benefits of choosing Mac computers over Windows PCs.
In the study posted on 9to5mac.com, IBM found that only 5% of Apple users contact IT support vs. 40% of Windows PC users. Because of this, the spending to replace Window’s PC’s with Mac’s is quickly offset by the lower support cost. In the article, IBM’s VP of Workplace-as-a-Service Fletcher Previn noted, “Every Mac that we buy is making and saving IBM money.”
In these times of cost constraints and budget cuts, hospitals and medical practices need to address reductions in IT spending and switching from PC’s to Macs is one way to significantly do that. aycan can show you how to integrate Mac-based RIS and PACS applications into your environment, so your organization can benefit by the type of cost savings outlined in the article.
