We are (MAC) Family...

You may be under the impression that any time I post on the blog it is to blabber on about gadgets. Well, this isn't entirely true, here is a link to all of my other posts. We both figured that it would be important to point out the major technological change that has happened in this family over the Christmas break.

As the above picture confirms, with the purchase of a new computer for Lydia, we are 100% Macintosh in this household. We have both been using PCs for decades and last week we are officially standing behind Apple computers. This just goes to show how quickly that we've been swept up by not only the Macintosh computers, but the company itself. Let me explain what we are holding.

Kevin: iPod Touch/MacBook
I of course wrote this post dedicated to my love to these two products.

Lydia: mac mini/Time Capsule

In Lydia's right hand is Time Capsule. Time Capsule not only serves as our wireless Internet base but it is also a highly sophisticated external hard drive. The Time Capsule connects with the OSX program "Time Machine." Time Capsule sits in a corner in our office and updates our computers wirelessly without us having to do a single thing. If we delete an important file, all we have to do is take a trip in our Macintosh Time Machine through the Time Capsule and we can find the file with ease.

Now to the newest member of our family...Believe it or not, Lydia is holding her brand new desktop computer in her left hand. Below is another picture of the mini. These machines were introduced back in 2005, so we are a little slow jumping on the band wagon, but we are very excited about the potentiality in this machine.

Want to know more about mac mini? Below is a video of Steve Jobs introducing the machine to the world. Why am I posting this on our blog? Well, this is the video that sold Lydia and myself to the product. Enjoy!
