iFamily





We are slowly but surely becoming... iFamily! Britton's dad came over last Saturday to visit and play baseball. What we actually ended up doing was spending some quality time together at the Apple store. Over the past few weeks Britton and I have been trying to decide what kind of a desktop computer to get for our apartment. I've always been kind of cheap and was all for the PC, but I could tell Britton really wanted to try out the Mac. One night we invited one of Britton's old roomates and his lovely wife over for dinner. He works at Apple. Good ol' PC never had a chance. So we asked for his advice about the difference between a PC and a Mac. You can probably guess how he felt, but still, it's pretty extreme. With a completely straight face he started out, "Imagine never having known about the gospel..." Wow, what an analogy. But he made some good points and I am currently writing this blog from a Mac complete with iChat, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, iCal, iMouse, iChord, iUSB, iOnswitch...etc.
ANd itS so User FRIDNLY!! AnyWOn can Youse iT!

Here is the sleek, new iPhone modeled by Jeff Olson. So we have succumbed to the Apple side, and so far the computer has been great! It's just hard adjusting to a different operating system. Anyone else experiencing the same growing pains, or have an opinion on the Mac/PC war?

yeah, I like Bill's mac and it has taken some getting used too, my only beef was the lack of a right click- or what ever- all you mac users know what I'm talking about. But thanks to the mighty mouse, we are finally able to right click!!! hurray!

I started out on a Mac at my first job and loved it, then was forced to convert to PCs. Seemed Mac lost the OS wars for a couple of decades. Glad to see they're making a come back. So...what does the "i" stand for? Internet?
