Although I have been a PC for many years, I have to hand it to Apple. They know how to market. I especially enjoyed the most recent Mac campaign launched to combat the new Windows 7 operating system. “PC” is anchoring a newscast reporting about Windows 7, and learns from man-on-the-street interviews that people are lining up to switch to a Mac instead! Watch commercial.

Then there are the flashbacks with the visibly younger PC. “Windows Vista won’t have any of the problems XP had.” And so on.

Well, I’m happy to say that I’ve moved over to the cool side. Rather than take my chances with Windows 7, I purchased a Mac. I’m delighted with its speed and stability. No crashes or lockups during my first video project. Impressive!

It may be true that “…mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” I decided I was done suffering. Hello Mac!

Our new location - 402 W. Washington Ave. Suite A

Is moving ever fun?  Packing, moving furniture, unpacking — none of that is glamorous. In fact, it’s dirty, back straining work.

But now I get to enjoy the benefits. I’m all settled into my new corner office. So stop by the new Attention Marketing location and say hello!

Sometimes we all need to get away. If finances prevent you from spending two weeks in the tropics, you might try taking a short trip through the forest or mountains close to home.

I have recently had the privilege of traveling back and forth across White Pass. Although my purpose was business, I made sure to build in some time for side trips and scenic viewpoints. I have enjoyed the rushing Tieton River, beautiful gold and red fall colors, thick stands of trees filtering the soft autumn sunlight, and quaint little towns along the way.

Remember the treasures right in your own backyard, and take time to enjoy them!
