Hello Fellow Apple users!!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am also available to help with some questions about Apple products. I myself own an iMac and an iPod Touch. I did own an iPhone for about a month but it was with Sprint and the service both here and back in Upstate New York stunk!!!

I have to tell you once you go Mac, you will wonder why you ever did stay with a PC/windows as long as you have. As for the iPad, I am still on the fence. I am not sure that it is worth the money while there are other products on the market like the Amazon Kindle and Kindle Fire.

What are some of your thoughts???

Hope to see and/or here from you all soon!
