My job is done. Bill is a full convert to Apple and it means my life is now at ease. He made a public declaration at about 7pm last Friday that for his next computer, he would buy a Mac. Two and a half years of slow poking and prodding has worked. 🙂
The catalyst was that we just bought an Apple TV – something that had been on my wishlist for ages and Bill loved setting it up so much he had an Oprah Aha! Moment. So lets see… in our little apartment we have two people, one bedroom and –
2 HD TV’s
2 DVD players
1 TiVO
1 Time Warner DVR
1 Macbook
1 HP laptop
1 iPad 2
1 AppleTV
1 iPod
1 iPhone 3G (mine UGH!)
1 iPhone 4
1 Blackberry
1 Kindle
1 Bose Wave Radio (my side)
1 Sony alarm clock (Bill’s side)
1 Sony shower radio
1 Sony kitchen radio
1 Sony camera
1 Canon camera
The AppleTV means that we get our Netflix streaming through TiVo and the AppleTV – so I can watch what I want to watch and Bill can watch what he wants to watch. In addition to this, Netflix also streams on our phones and the iPad. It really is Streaming City! We ended up dropping our plan to one disc at a time (this includes unlimited streaming), as there has ended up being so much in our queued list that is able to be streamed instead of waiting for a disc. So now we then take it in turns to have one disc at a time of our choosing. Bill did a great choice this week with Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House. It was fantastic!!!
