Give the international gift of language with the Rosetta Stone language series. Rosetta Stone Spanish (Spain) teaches you Spanish naturally, by getting you to think, live and breathe the language. Not interested in Spanish? Try another language.

Give your family the gift of international communication with Rosetta Stone. As a child, you learned to speak instinctively by experiencing the world around you. The Rosetta Stone solution recreates this experience through a fully immersive environment right on your computer. No translation or memorization required.

Rosetta Stone has eliminated the traditional approach of using translation and grammar rules, empowering you to think in your new language. There are no flash cards, dictionaries or memorization drills. By surrounding you with words, images and the voices of native speakers, the Rosetta Stone method lets you progress naturally from words and phrases to sentences and conversations.

The average person’s home computing needs are straightforward:

• Send and receive emails
• Research products and services on the internet
• Write documents
• Homework
• Chat with friends
• Manage finances
• Sync your music
• Make videos
• Manage photos

The average person with these straightforward computing needs does not need to know anything about the complicated inner workings of their computer in order to perform these tasks. We all live busy lives and the last thing we need to experience is a computer that isn’t working and trying desperately to find someone to help us fix it for less than $100.

Our favorite place to purchase a Mac is MacMall.

Fortunately help is here for the average home computing needs. Apple’s line of Mac computers is geared specifically for the vast majority of home users who want great computing features without the hassle of issues that come with a typical PC.

Here are 5 great reasons to buy a Mac instead of a PC:

• The iLife program suite comes free with your Mac. These programs help you take your home photos and movies, and create books, slideshows, calendars, web sites, edited movies, and DVDs. The Mac comes standard with almost every program you need to do all those great computing tasks you have!
• No security issues. I have never received a Mac virus or spyware on any of my Macs. Nor has anyone I know or have read about. Most malicious virus and spyware creators are trying to disrupt corporations who run primarily on PCs. Because Mac viruses and spyware issues are virtually non-existent, you won’t have to spend countless hours with a bogged down system while your virus scan is running!
• Free Support from Apple Stores. Regardless of where you buy your Mac, you can walk into your nearest Apple store with it and get help for free through their Genius Bar. This team of well-trained professionals will have your computer running in tip-top shape and you will still have money for that latte!
• Free and Low Cost Training. You can participate in free workshops that are run at every Apple store. These workshops are designed to help you get more out of your new Mac. If you feel you need a little more help, you can purchase 1 hour a week of one-on-one training for a full year for the low cost of $99. Yes, that is less than $2/class!
• Innovative lightweight design. A Mac computer not only looks great, but it’s lightweight, durable and uses all the newest most progressive technology in it’s construction. When you purchase a Mac you get the largest and fastest disk drives, the most memory and and the best network technology.
