We are an Apple family!

Ever since I bought a used Powerbook for Mike last year he has been hooked. I've only used Macs since I began grad school and it continued as I taught at private schools which only used Macs for their students. I met Mike in an AOL chat room using my Mac Classic II. Yea, the small grey box with the monochromatic miniscule screen. Back then, AOL used to mail out floppy disks for consumers to try out free but paid the phone bill up the wazoo.

I then upgraded to a Power PC, the large grey machine with a color monitor, one I got for free from the school I worked in as a 4th grade teacher. The school was upgrading to colorful iMacs. It wasn't long before I purchased my very own Grape tray loading iMac in 1999. That machine lasted me through 2003.

At the end of 2003, I bought a 12 inch iBook. At that point, I was staying home with a baby and needed something to do in between feedings and naps. I also discovered the world of iMovie and made a few slideshows of H's first and second year of life. So I had to purchase a Superdrive installed eMac as well to burn them with iDVD. Presently my iBook is listed on eBay for $500 Buy it Now as is Mike's 15 inch Titanium Powerbook for $1000 Buy it Now.

Yesterday, we brought home two new Macbooks from the Apple Store. Mike got the Black one with a Superdrive and I the White with the Combo. We are still tinkering with our new toys. These little laptops are super fast with mind boggling capabilities. Am SOOOOO happy we upgraded.
