Funny enough, I got an Apple TV 4K a few weeks ago. Then, on Monday, I happened to remember the WWDC keynote. So I downloaded the Apple Events app, and watched part of the keynote live on the big screen. Thought that was pretty cool.

In terms of announcements, I was relieved to see improved parental controls coming to iOS (both iPad and iPhone). These days, getting and keeping my kids off their electronic devices is a major PITA. Between Xbox, iPads, iPhones, and MacBooks (most handed down from me), it's virtually impossible to keep a lid on it. Argh!

All the other incremental fixes and upgrades sounded nice enough, too. I look forward to updating all my compatible devices in the Fall.

I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever.
