Behind the Smoke and Mirrors

I’m not the most technologically-savvy individual, even if I can give my parents a run for their money.  For everything else, I turn to my brother Liam.  He designs websites for a living and enters electronic code gibberish—you know the type.  He could probably hack into my computer without blinking.  Luckily we’re past our pranky teen years and he can help me with any computer woes.

Recently I was impressed with his ability to copy a couple of my favourite DVDs to my iPhone so quickly.  I’ve gotten used to his electronic aptitude, but when I snooped around his home office, I stumbled upon quite a discovery.

The secret to a great deal of my brother’s seemingly all-powerful technological knowledge?  Roxio UK.  He had in his possession their Easy Video Copy & Convert, the trickster!

Not that I can blame him: it’s basically a really effective cheat sheet for converting DVDs to other media forms so you can take them with you wherever you go.  Given how busy he is, this kind of program is sure to help free up his time.

Fair enough.  But that doesn’t mean I can’t be a little bit miffed at the fact that he let me believe he could basically perform magic to take care of my electronic requests.  Now I know better and I can check with Roxio UK to take care of my own needs.  I have a feeling this will be a relief for both of us.

I did, however, take extreme pride in the fact that I taught him something for once: VoucherGurus.co.uk has great Roxio vouchers and discounts, including their own exclusive 15% off any product with voucher code gurus15roxio!

My brother may be good at the technological stuff, but I’m the one that knows how to find a good bargain.  And hey, at least now that I have Roxio, I can at least pretend I know what I’m doing, right?

Don’t answer that.
