The Safe Surrender program is continuing to be effective across the State of California and the Santa Clarita Valley.  A newborn child was surrendered at Henry Mayo Hospital in the Santa Clarita Valley this past Spring.  It was the eighth Safe Surrender in Los Angeles County in 2007 and the 56th since the program was initiated six years ago.

How does it happen that someone becomes a fanatic?  You know what I mean, it’s when you can only talk about that thing, it’s all you can think about.  It must be like that chemical reaction that happens when you are in love or at least very infatuated.  Obsession rules the day.  You go out of your way to be involved with it, to know all there is to know about it.  I see it every day, people will come into the store and chat about the computer systems they have had, what they have and what they are doing with their computers.  These are Mac enthusiasts and I never really understood it until one day, click, it just made sense.  You see I’m a motorcycle fanatic, it’s all about riding bikes and accessories.  I will engage in conversation with anyone on the subject.  So what I am really saying is that now I get it.

Almost everyone today uses a computer and it is very common to use them for hours and hours on end.  Well, I’ve been using a Mac for six years now and I just get it, this operating system is simple to get used to, the computers all look cool, the built-in software works so well that it pulls you in and really gets you using the computer for things you may not have been doing in the past.  These things create Mac fanatics and I have become a Mac evangelist.  Every day we at MacTalk assist people who want a better experience with computers and we guide them to the Apple computer option.  Where computer use is less challenging, viruses are not an issue and compatibility with all systems has become a reality.  The portables are so popular with everyone, they are not only the sleekest and coolest designed laptops on the market, they also run the same operating system and software as all the desktops.  And the starting price is very competitive, the other day I did a little comparative shopping and found that Apple computers are no longer the higher priced computer.  So with the price so appealing, the computer so cool-looking and running the easiest operating system and software, it is not hard to understand why Apple is experiencing a 37 percent growth in the last quarter.  We don’t want you to become obsessed with a new Mac.  Don’t even become a Mac fanatic, but do come in and see what fun you can have using a Mac.  We are sure you will be impressed enough to make your next computer a Mac.
