Why me?• Traveling 40-50 weeks a year• ... for the past 17 years!
• Most travel is domestic US• ... but some international travel (cruises!)
• The first-gen iPhone was my first smartphone• I was already a solid Mac user• I’ve never owned a machine with Windows
• Hey, I was on the cruise already anyway!
