Merry Christmas from the City of Carlsbad (Carlsbad Current-Argus)

As always. Thank you to Carlsbad's many wonderful churches, who provided much-needed support to so many of our residents throughout this past year.

This includes our police officers and our firefighters, as well as local nurses and doctors and other employees of the medical center. As always, our residents with some of the most important jobs in our community will be working throughout Christmas. We see it in the Christmas Anonymous Program and Faith Hope and Love’s holiday program, where children receive gifts for the holidays.

McKenna wrote back to Jobs to thank him for the favor. According to McKenna, the dealer phoned back within a few minutes to say his granddaughter’s new computer was ready to be replaced. Jobs phoned up McKenna, then the dealer. McKenna bought each of his grandchildren a colorful iMac, but one of the five computers had a drive issue after a few hours. McKenna contacted the Apple dealer (pre-dating the Apple Store) about the issue, but he was told it was Apple’s policy not to exchange broken computers without their authorization. McKenna briefly reclaimed the role of helping Jobs with publicity in 2010 when antenna-gate followed the iPhone 4 launch.
