Ken loves new stuff, especially technical gadgets. Now we own a very small black box, purchased at Best Buys and manufactured by Apple. Today's excursion was to go to lunch at Gruene, then look at back backs as our back packs are 20 years old and heavy. After we completed our purchases and were driving through the mall in New Breunfals, Ken suggested we just look at this new Apple black box at Best Buys. He had read that you can play things from the computer through your TV and he wanted to talk to someone about it. I sat in the car to listen to the radio, while Ken went in to ask questions.
Sure enough, Ken returned with a very small bag. He had bought it. His excuse to purchase rather than just talk was because he thought we might give one to Andrew and Christina for their birthdays, and he wanted to find out if they really worked. When we came home, Ken set it up, then invited me to watch Cat Balou, which we did. The technology was wonderful. He had the movie on his I Tune and just streamed it from there to the TV. And when we finished, which was a horrible movie, we saw a long list of movies that we could down loud, right then and there. I can see that this new black box will be very useful and enjoyable. Now he needs to work hard to figure out how to put the hockey and basketball playoff games on the TV, coming from the computer. Now that would make me happy.
