Agreeing with you from my W7 $500 in upgrade parts which will beat a $3500 8Core MAC Pro in most cases and the $5000 12 Core in many.

It all began with an iPhone...

March was when my son celebrated his 15th birthday,
and I got him an iPhone.
He just loved it. Who wouldn't?


I celebrated my birthday in June,
and my wife made me very happy when she bought me an iPad.



My daughter's birthday was in August so I got her an iPod Touch.



My wife celebrated her birthday in September so I got her an iRon.

It was around then that the fight started......

What my wife failed to recognize is that the iRon can be integrated

into the home network with the iWash, iCook and iClean.

This inevitably activates the iNag reminder service.


I should be out of the hospital by Thursday!!
