For most of my life, I’ve been a computer idiot. Even the act of emailing threw me into despair. Then around 2006, I dumped the PC and switched to a Mac. That began a re-invention that opened the door to new jobs, new dreams — a new me.
Of course, Macs are expensive. Laptops and desktops begin at $1,199. But look what you get:
Over time, the Mac will pay for itself — if you also buy:
This card is the key to making your Mac a power tool & life changer.
One-to-One is the secret to going Mac. It’s renewable at $99 per year for three years. It MUST be purchased when you buy your computer. Just look at the incredible math here…..
After the initial investment in a Mac, you have access to endless classes at no extra charge. Every week, I can make an appointment at ANY Apple store and sit with a smart, helpful tutor.
Over the last several years, the trainers have taught me to email, build a website, use a digital camera and camcorder, add music to videos, do basic PhotoShop and more…
Once in a while, I an annoyed because it’s hard to make a reservation in my preferred time slot. Still I usually get to about 25 lessons in a 12-month membership; that’s barely $2 for a private session.
I could rave on and on. It’s important to start talking about a new Mac now because some of you will be looking for holiday gifts — both to give and get.
So this is a post you might want to drop into the email inbox of someone who loves you. ;)
Okay. Let’s summarize the key points:
I painted this chair on a lazy summer day. It’s a good spot for curling up with my Mac.
Great customer service for repairs.
So when students and friends realize how my Mac saved me, they’ve been inspired to make the leap too. (Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t pay commissions; I could’ve made a fortune!)
In a future post, I’ll have tips on how to make the most of those One-to-One sessions. You’ll want to come back for that. xo.
