POTUS is a Mac user

Further, Obama may be the first computer/technology savvy President we have ever had. During Clinton's eight years as POTUS he sent a grand total of 2 emails. And that was 2 more than Bush sent for his entire 2 terms.

I suspect that Obama will be sending significantly more than that.

I think we may be moving away from the "grey head as President" for awhile. We're going to dabble in youth, race, and probably gender for the next few iterations of the office.

Turns out it was not for lack of want that prevented Clinton and Bush from using email. It's because of strict disclosure laws. Still, seems like there should be some way around it in these modern times.

I guess Obama is fighting like hell to continue to use his Blackberry and email after he takes office:

I don't see how, unless it can somehow be set to receive only.

Even that opens up the possibility of major issues.

Also, Obama will be playing with his Wii in the White House:

This makes the Nintendo Wii the first gaming console to enter the White House.

"Two years after launching the most technologically savvy presidential campaign in history, Obama officials ran smack into the constraints of the federal bureaucracy yesterday, encountering a jumble of disconnected phone lines, old computer software, and security regulations forbidding outside e-mail accounts. "

I wonder if the big red phone to Russia is rotary dial?

Looks like he is keeping his Blackberry but only for personal use.
