I’m going to be honest, and I know it’s going to make me sound spoiled, but I don’t think I have gone one day of my life since being introduced to my first iPod Mini in 2004 without seeing or using an Apple product.

I think that the economic principles of our town are best illustrated at any one ofWestport’s ubiquitous Starbucks coffee shops.
