The four of us went down to Lenox Mall to ride the pink pig, go to the food court, and visit the Apple store. I had a Schatzki incident which caused some delay and landed me back in the car for about 30 minutes. I insisted the girls ride on the pink pig, but it closed as they walked up to it. So two strikes for me: no food and no pig.

Claire and I had a nice visit to the Apple store where I decided to buy the new operating system, Leopard, and the new version of iLife ’08 which includes iMovie. I figured this was a pretty cheap way to get a new computer (upgrade our older one) and that the girls would enjoy YouTubing movies even more.

Alas, the new version of iMovie does not support the older iMac. Processing movies is the most computing intensive thing we do, and the latest version needs the faster processors. Strike 3.

So what does one do with 3 strikes? Get a new Macintosh, of course!
