Printing with the IPad

Yes, Virginia, you CAN print from the IPad.  But you'll need an APP to do it till Apple comes up with a native solution.  If you E-Mail me maybe I can hook you up with a solution.  Oh, btw, works with IPhone, too!

The IPhone 4...

The IPhone 4, going out June 24th, 2010 is the next 'insanely great' enhancement by Apple Computer.  You can read about it everywhere and although it's press won't eclipse the IPad in the sexy category, it comes close.

So what will you get if you run out and buy the new IPhone, besides a new 2 year contract with AT&T and mediocre coverage?  Well, the absolute best graphics presentation available on a phone.  Two years ago who knew THAT would matter?  Additionally, you'll be able to shoot pictures AND Movie clips on either side of the camera, which allows for the first time a video conference option with a cell phone.  That is, if AT&T (or anyone else) can handle the band with that video conferencing will eat up.  That makes it up in the air for now.

Beyond that the look and feel is 'cooler' now...thinner, lighter.

Apple has done it again...and this one will stave off the bite that the 'Droid phones are taking out of Apple...for a while, anyway.

S-MAC Me.... A good one!

 Ok, I admit to going a little Mac crazy since we added THREE to the household.  There will always probably be things I can only get done in a PC world, so it's not like I've abandoned ship or nothing....  But they are just plain fun!

My new Mac Book Pro has great battery life, great graphics and...well...it's just plain GREAT.  Some things defy description.

So are they easier to use?  I don't see that as a compelling reason to get a MAC.  

Do they have less problems?  Ok maybe they get a slight nod over windows machines for less problems, but hey...again..probably NOT a decision making reason.

So why get a MAC?  Hey, if you don't know maybe I can't tell you.  Ask another MAC user for their reasons.  For me?  Well for me, it's personal.
