This weeks featured Mac desk setup comes from cloud solutions provider and small business owner John H., let’s learn a bit more about the hardware and apps that make up the workstation.

Welcome! Tell us a bit about yourself and what you use your Apple gear for?

My name is John H., I am based in Bristol in the UK and run my own business selling cloud computing solutions (that includes hosted email, servers, VoIP, online backup) and I also provide web development.

Why a Mac? Can you tell us about your Mac setup?

I bought my first iMac in 2006 and never looked back, I am always looking to see what Apple hardware is about to break out on the market and also browsing for gadgets to go with it. I also have three Apple TV’s, one 1st generation and two 3rd generation.

Specific hardware includes the following:

Why did you go with this particular setup?

I find that Apple gear is super reliable and fast, which is a must for me when developing websites and web apps for customers. Having a 27” monitor is a great benefit in order to work on several applications at the same time. I also use my iPad as a second monitor using the DisplayPad App, which is handy as I have it mounted on the HoverBar.

What are some of the apps that you use most often?

The OS X and iOS software I use most frequent is as follows:

    Imac is great except that there is a Mavericks problem working with photos. Saving to .tif sometimes but not always does not allow the icon image to show. Very annoying for a photographer.

    OK I knew this was British the moment I saw the “Keep Calm and Carry On” slogan behind the iMac. Essential words of wisdom for a small business owner!
