iBounce

For a while now (actually since shortly after I got Gertie), I've been contemplating buying a Mac. Our compy is decrepit. It ventures out onto the internet highway like a Grandma in an old Crown Vic, forgetting to signal, going well below the speed limit.

So, after I sat in amazement at the simplicity and sleekness of iTunes and Gertie, I started to wonder what would life be like on the other side. The dark side. Do they have cookies, I wondered.

Curt's not going to be an easy sell. I know this because one night we were curled up on the couch and the commercial for the new MacBook Air came one and I brought it up.

"Those look really cool."

"No they don't. Apples suck."

"How would you know? Have you ever used one?"

Defensively, "Yeah."

"When, in elementary school? Where you playing Oregon Trail on it?", I tease.

Sheepishly, "Yeah."

And so, I tabled the discussion. But recently I've started really looking at them and I'm liking what I'm seeing. A lot.

I think it might be time for the fat kid on the moon bounce to bust out some new moves.
