mac disciple

If you are going to make a computer purchase this Christmas, I pose this question. Why would you buy a PC? The cute apple commericals are spot on. If you don't believe Justin Long then listen to this guy.



It feels great to finally make a competent financial decision on a quailty product. That's twice in two years.

Switchers

We own an iMac now!!! Our PC that Justin and Heather gave us a few years back finally crashed last week. So Melissa and I headed over to North Park Center to the Apple store. Not realizing that the Southlake store is much closer, we fought the Ugh boot wearing crowds in one classy mall. As soon as we walked into the Apple store we knew it was going to be an iChristmas this year. Wall to wall people picking up iphones, and ipods, and anything else i they could get there hands on. All the guys in the store were really helpful and knowledgeable, in spite of everything being so crazy and crowded. After a few demonstrations of what you can do on the new Leopard OS our decision was final. My brother -in-law John and my other brother -in-law Mike are huge Mac disciples, and were overjoyed to hear of our purchase.
