Thank you Steve Jobs AGAIN!

I can not tell you how much I appreciate the people at Apple.  Like I said before, the invention of the Ipad has changed my life, as well as the lives of countless families dealing with Autism. 

Two years ago, my husband and I bought a Macbook Pro with some of our wedding money.  You would wonder why we would spend so much on a lap top, the simple answer is we are both great at wrecking PCs.  I have wrecked 2 computers with Malware, spyware, virus etc and my husband has wrecked one.  The idea that we could have a computer that would not be ruined by virus' converted us to Apple, regardless of cost.

When we bought that computer we also purchased the warrenty.  A month into having it, the Macbook was dropped on the floor (not by us).  Knowing it was a $700 repair we have just lived with it.  Today I had an 11:15m appointment to get the Macbook looked at because it wasnt charging......and we waited an hour past that :(. 


So the guy appologises and lets me know that its the charger and that they would replace that for me for free.  Then he proceeds to tell me that I look like I have my hands full with two kids and that he wants to fix my screen and other external damage, as well as upgrade my software for free since I have never used my warranty.  WHAT?  What company does that?  Basically he is giving me a new computer.  Either he psychically knew it was the bys birthday or I looked that stressed....I hope it was the first option.

So yes, Apple is great.  I love them.  If i had any money, i would buy something from them just because

Thank you Steve Jobs

I'm 100% sure that if there was no such thing as an iPad, I would never be able to attend a social function with myson with out crying.

Once upon a time in the land of Me before kids, I swore my child would NEVER play video games. My children would never be the zombies sitting at the table at a restaurant ignoring the waitress because they were to engrossed in their games. Ahhhh, that person we all were before we had children!

I had always struggled bringing LP out. No amount of coloring, trains or food could keep him sitting still or quiet. It was because of this that I became very secluded from the rest of the world. I spent most of my time in my house away from other people because it was the only place I could get my son to behave.

The day I it was suggested that I buy an IPad I almost fell off my chair. These people were crazy I thought, I'm going to get my kid an iPad as I sit here broke living in a tiny apartment living pay check to paycheck, eating Ramen noodles??? Like a small miracle, my mother decided to buy my son an iPad......and I sobbed, I wept, almost fell to the ground. Let me say, I was still skeptical of this thing, my son was beginning to be verbal so I didn't see how it would help him and not just end up being some expensive as he'll toy.

I can say 2 months later, my son can read because of the iPad. He knows his colors and shapes and grew the patience to listen to a book. He learned to trace letters and what items rhyme. He learned opposites, matching and what doesnt belong. And even though hearing "a doctor uses a stethoscope to hear your heart" scripted over and over again daily can grow annoying, at least he is saying something! The iPad helped my son sit through him great grandmothers funeral and helped say my goodbyes. It makes going to dinner a joy instead of a pain. And lastly it has let me type my blog on it after mY computer broke.....THANK YOU IPAD!!!!
