Macs everywhere!

I just got back from Patagonia, AZ - The center for folks who like organic, raw food and wonderful scenery and other stuff - it just tickled me to see so many folks with their Macs! Particularly when you see a scholarly, yoga type person in a long, orange flowing robe sitting on a rock and using his Mac! Then another type came up while we were having dinner (outside)...in the mountains. he was riding a bike - had a scarf tied around his head - had on a back pack and the first thing when he sat down was take out his new Iphone! We got to talking about this and that and then he showed me a MOVIE (on his iphone) of eagle feathers he had discovered in a bush! I pulled out my iphone, but I don't have movies, I did have some pictures to show him though. Guess I will have to get the newer model! He also had a car, his Mac was still in the car - and the car was stuffed with camping things - and a rack for his bike! And on the plane coming home most everyone had a Mac and used the wifi on the plane! I feel like I'm a part of the "in" crowd!

What a wonderful story Jane.

Im stuck in my room with a cyst on the ball of one foot and a heel spur on the other foot. Plus I bolted rubber resistance exercise bands behind my computer desk ( kind of a cheap BowFlex) and above me on the ceiling and ripped my biceps tendon on the right shoulder from pulling too hard.

Im putting Veterinary horse liniment gel on everything with a heating pad.

With bone on bone of the knee, you can imagine how important my jet black jack mac is to at least experience something in life.

Jane - looks like there are a bunch of "apple orchards" out there. When I saw the name Patagonia, all I could think of was "McHale's Navy"!

pond - do any NSAIDs help at all?

We had lunch a few weeks ago with friends at Panara Bread. Two diners with Mac laptops having soup, sandwich, and surfing. I felt right at home.

And I want one of the new iPhone, too. I want to be able to take video. I'm working on hubby now.

That 's such s great story Jane. I've also noticed the phenom at our local coffee houses. Usually more Macs out than pc. Do you think we're more mobile?? Have you noticed how impressed/astounded some young people look when we pull out our iTouch/phone and start checking our email? I can just see them thinking....old people do that????

Pond, hope you're on the mend. Glad you have you're Mac handy. Don't know how I'd have gotten thru knee reconstruction without mine.
