I had to put in a plug for the wife's new computer. She had been living off my hand-me-down MacBook Pro for a while. I don't remember her being such a geek when we first got married.

Got iWork and iLife installed. Put in Quickbooks 2010 for Mac and she is a happy camper! We have a saying: "When you want to work on the computer, get a Microsoft-based PC. When you want to get things done, get a Mac!"

Fortunately most of my clients already know that after professionally managing computer systems for over 27 years, I am multi-lingual. So please don't think I have gone totally Apple zealot.
