McGrath's happy hunting ground
Barbados has happy memories for Glenn McGrath, who has reached the stage of his career when he can look backwards rather than forwards. The Caribbean tour of 1995 is one of the most satisfying chapters of his journey. Mark Taylor's team regained the Worrell trophy for the first time in almost 20 years, effectively ending West Indies' dominance of the world game. "That was a big tour and it started here in Barbados," McGrath recalled. "We ended up winning the Test quite convincingly in three days, I got my first five-for in Test cricket and I knocked over Brian Lara for the first time. "I guess taking your first five-wicket haul in Test cricket gives you a lot of confidence as well and since doing that I haven't really looked back." Now a peaceful, smiling veteran of 37, McGrath has left behind the anger that spilled over into his cricket sometimes, especially in the Caribbean.

That being said, it is worth noting that even though Apple's programs trump Microsoft's in ease of use, creativity and usability, there are some great third party programs that many avid Mac users prefer to Mac software; why? Speed, flexibility, and options.
