The Force

Who knew the old Mac versus PC debate is alive and well? Judging by the comments on last week’s post, people still have strong opinions about their computers. I took the Mac plunge last week and spent more time (and money) than I wanted getting up to speed, but so far I have to say I’m loving my new MacBook Pro.

For all you technology lovers, I’d like to make you aware of several upcoming events that you might want to attend:
