Seriously. Yesterday, after I finished teaching a class of pastors and volunteers how to save money and still have a killer website, one of the pastors stood up, came to the front, and told the others who attended to get out their pocketbooks and put their cash on the table to by me an iPad.
THAT IS AWESOME. This could possible be the first iPad offering in history. I suppose my efforts to “convert” them to the Mac side is working.
No, I don’t have enough to buy it yet, but I am on my way.

Then, in college I got my first geek job in a Macintosh Lab in the Business School at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona. At the time, Macs were squatty, beige boxes with green screens… but I was hooked.
