Hello again from OWC!
Time flies when you're having a good time and it hardly seems possible such time has
elapsed! Then I think about the then and now, and it's truly amazing just
how much has changed in such a short period of time!
A color Mac in 1988 (Mac IIx) would set you back at least $7300 with 1MB
of memory – and took up a large portion of one's desk. Today's Mac mini
has more processing power than what probably passed for a supercomputer at
that time, 4GB of memory (4096 times more memory!!), can be held in the
palm of your hand, and all for a cost of $600. BTW, that $7300 in 1988 is
over $15,000 in 2012 dollars.
Even more profound is the reality that a typical smartphone today has more
processing power than the fastest desktop system of less than a decade ago.
It is amazing how fast technology evolves and I appreciate the opportunity
you have given to OWC to meet the ever changing challenges with the right
solutions that get it done. Your feedback and support is what makes OWC
what it is today. The team and I know absolutely we are here for you and
because of you. I thank you sincerely for this. It is our privilege to be
here for your technology needs and, God willing, we look forward to
continuing 5, 10, 25 years, and beyond. :)

water go to the digging of clean water wells that are absolutely life
changing. It's almost unimaginable that anyone has to loses 30 minutes to
