I heart Apple (and my wife)

I have an iPhone. Yes, sooner than expected, I am the proud owner of a 4GB model. My birthday (the big 25, half way to 30 as my wife would say) is next week. Kelly and I already decided that I was going to wait until Christmas to get an iPhone. After all, I've waited for Apple to come out with a cell phone for close to six years now, what's another couple of months right? Well, she did some conspiring and twisting of the system (in a style that she could have only learned from moi!) and low and behold, I have an iPhone. She got it in and couldn't wait to the 29th to give it to me. I'm thrilled. It's amazing, and I know you expect to hear that from me, being an Apple fanboy, but as a consumer, it's a piece of work... really sleek.

My love for Apple doesn't stop there though... Sunday evening I also helped setup my father-in-law's new PC. He just got an HP laptop, wasn't even out of the box. I unpacked it, having to put all the pieces together, turned it on, went through 38 minutes of startup in which it asked me several questions and tried to get me to try several programs and softwares. Finally, after the setup was complete, I was on the desktop for all of 45 seconds when a bubble popped up and told me my computer was seriously at risk and I should do such-in-such! How do you people STAND PCs? On a Mac, you open it up, plug it in, start it up, put your name in and within 3 minutes the computer is up and running sans crash alerts.... No annoying little bubbles popping up all over the bottom right-hand corner of the screen telling me to wipe my butt.

Anyway, that's all I got. I can blog and post photos from my iPhone... so be on the lookout for some moblogging. Adios!

Where are the pictures? And I know I don't need to remind you that you, yourself, were a PC guy until a wise cousin and his mom were able to get you straightened out. :-)

I thinks the only way the "i-phone" could get any better, would be if it were called the "O-phone", O yeah baby, for ben's sake . . . .
