?– Scanner Wouldn??™t it be great to get rid of all those papers on your desk, and not have
to maintain drawers and drawers of files in filing cabinets? Scan that paperwork into
your Mac and you can store it digitally instead! Scanners are also great for moving your
old family photos to digital.
?– Hard drive At some point you are going to have so much data on your Mac??™s built-in

hard drive is the way to go. You can instantly increase your storage capacity without
