Apple Koolaid

[MendoDave]

My first iPhone was a 3Gs after spending a a few years* calling the iPhone a toy. I lost my precious BlackBerry and buckled under the pressure. I was hooked soon after. My wife also thought it was a toy, then she started using mine. She forced me to get her a 4 soon after. The original iPhone really was a game changer, same as the Mac.

* Years because I was working at AT&T at the time and knew some guys that were lucky enough to test the iPhone. Got to play with it before there were any apps)

Thats pretty much how I felt about the iPad. Thought it was a toy when I had my sister in laws in my hands. Then not quite 2 years later I got one to take credit card payments at the farmers market and found out how it could not only replace my obsolete Palm Pilot, but be even more useful than the Palm ever was. Then My wife started using it and I had to get her one....

alright then, who is going to deal with the madness tomorrow?  I might go to the mall and take pictures of these minions standing in line for hours.

That's one thing I would never do, except maybe for a game. Now that I can buy all my games digitally, I don't even need to get off my couch.

Ordered mine last Friday and UPS will deliver it to my office today.
No madness other then the norm around here

Ha, maybe it did it before, I don't know, but with ios8 I can use my iPad as a phone.

Actually a no brainer.

I've had an S4 for about a year now and it fits fine in my pockets -- jeans, slacks, suit pants.

What kind of clothes are these people wearing that their pockets are so tiny? 

Oh, that's right.. the graphic showed a guy wearing cranberry pants and drinking a PBR

I don't even put my Trackphone in my pocket.

Here is consumer reports test about the bending thing being overblown. I think there was actually something like 9 complaints.

Cool aid or not, I keep seeing and hearing about the tales of woe and frustration in the microsoft camp.

Those issues are not my problem.
