Thanksgiving is almost here in the US and the "MacNews" and "MacTech" web sites will be "closed" on Thursday and will be operating on a limited schedule Friday so the entire gang can celebrate the holiday with our families.

I have a lot to be thankful for, and I hope you do, too. I'm grateful for my family, my friends and my church. They're what life is all about.

I'm thankful for having a job when so many people don't. Which means I'm grateful to you, our readers, and to our advertisers.

I'm grateful that there are cool Apple gadgets in the world. They make life much more productive -- and fun.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
