I was over the moon when I decided to come back to Small Dog. Well, for one reason, I’d be back working with my husband, Art, as well as my old friends. But the main reason I am ecstatic to be back is because I LOVE technology. I love everything about it: from the crazy secrecy of an Apple announcement to the getting a first-hand look at something that is brand new.
There are three product announcements in my history at Small Dog that really stand out. The first was the Bondi-blue iMac. We set it up on a table in the middle of the SD office and just stared at it. The second was when Mac OS X 10.2 came out as this caused quite a stir and I believe that Art and I stayed here until midnight to hand out copies. The third product announcement that was truly memorable was the first iPod. At the time, I don’t think that we really knew that we were holding the “technology game changer” in our hands. In hindsight, these were truly pivotal moments for both Apple Computer and Small Dog Electronics.
And now we are on the brink of another announcement as Apple sent out invitations that appear to be announcing a new iPad on March 7th. But like you, I just have to wait for the news. Perhaps this will be a product launch that sticks in my memory for years to come.
