So I ended up with a MacMini late 2012 with an i7 CPU and lots of RAM. So It was very clear to me at the time that I would be stuck with it for a long time. Since I never used MacOSX I wasn’t aware of how the mouse or keyboard works and it took me almost 2-3weeks to get familar with most of the short cuts and basic functionality, so I thought of replacing the workstation I had at home with a Mac too, so that I can spend time using MacOSX and somehow minimise all sorts of embarassing situations I faced at work specially with the basic use of keyboard, mouse and software installations 😀</p>
