Getting to Know the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge

I’ve been using Growly Notes to collect the solutions to problems I've encountered using my Apple products since becoming a total convert in 2008. If you are a big fan of Apple products and the software you need to power them, this blog might help you find just the answers you need to get the most out of your (often expensive) purchases. 

Your suggestions are appreciated. I'll try to address topics that you want to know about and post links to the best products including special discount offers and limited time promotions. 

With any luck, we'll both become more knowledgeable about the power of Mac OS X and iOS to make almost any task easier and more effective. 

Apple has a long history of greatness, and while the products they make are (even now) mocked for simplicity, the higher costs for similar classes of machines (computers, phones, MP3 players), the equipment has noticeably greater performance when compared to a machine with the same internal hardware (CPU, graphics adapter, etc) running a version of Windows from the same year.

Now, the a little nostalgia. The image below was the original logo for Apple Computer Company:

Within a year, the logo became the standard-bearer we know today, minus a few changes over the years to coincide with the company’s move from a solo focus on computers to consumer (and professional) electronics and software.

Finally, today’s logo, a simple but iconic representation of taking a bite (or byte) out of knowledge:

Thanks for reading! More posts featuring all sorts of topics to come soon!
