02 iParents
Move Over Helicopter Parents. 'iParents' Are Here. . . .
A parent's job is never finished and especially when it
comes to keeping up with the technology that children so
easily seem to understand. If you're a parent today, chances
are, you're well aware that your job has grown far beyond
making sure homework is completed and everyone gets to
school on time.

by a notoriously messy Macintosh computer user with a
computer Desktop so full of icons and trash the program's
development was almost mandatory.

06 Unusual Uses For Your iPad
For those of you who don't have an iPad it's hard to see
what all the fuss is about. It's a laptop
without-keyboard-meets a smartphone and has a baby big deal.
But, speaking as someone whose had this magical device, for
almost a year, it really is useful for a lot more than Angry
Birds and Scrabble (sorry Oprah).

07 ActivePrint 8 Released

community of ActivePrint users have been created who are
interested in printing from their iPads and iPhones and who
don't want to be limited to a select few models of printers
from just one brand. This community has been a great
resource for developing the new ActivePrint 8!

13 Quotes: Shaw, Kimbrough, Bob Proctor
"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and
look for the circumstances they want, and
if they can't find them, make them."
- George Bernard Shaw
"Remember, we all stumble, every one of us.
That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand."
- Emily Kimbrough
"It's a strange thing,
you have said it thousands of times I am sure...
you will never know what you can do until you try.
However the sad truth is, that most people never try anything
until they know they can do it."
- Bob Proctor
