Those of you reading between the lines have sorted who the technophile in the family is. For 20 years, I was oppressed & depressed by Windoze. My electronic companion, Macelangelo, & I are surviving w/out the ultimate mobile ~~for now~~. Until there's a Virgin Mobile version, we're content to ~~covet~~ [daily] check the price of a refurbished iPod Touch.

Most days, I even manage to want a bed more.. ~_^

Admittedly, even though technology offers much more these days, a lot of things ARE simplified over the early eighties. I once had a VCR (about 1981) that had little levers inside the tiny panel – one for each channel – and that’s how you chose the channels to add or skip.

OK, but bear in mind that the bald spot may not STAY bald.

Hey, wait a minute! Are we on to a zillion dollar idea here, or what?

I’ll have you know that I have NEVER snapped a whip.

Patch, please. I’ll wear it under my fedora, right on the bald spot.

Big dog food executive like YOU, and you don’t have a fancy phone?

I like you more every day, Rick.

Oh wow, now look who sounds like an old fart. Join the club, ya geezer.

By the way, we had one of those ugly old phones at our last office. Loved to hear that thing ring!

You know, I pretty much AM a fruit-phone covetin’ technophile, and I STILL NEVER FIGURED OUT HOW TO PROGRAM A DAMN VCR. I agree with your mom. Way too complicated. I don’t watch TV because I want to have to think, people.

Plus it makes my husband feel useful, or it did till we upgraded to a DVR, which I still refuse to learn how to program, so he can continue to feel useful.

Yay-rah-sis-boom-bah! You young whippersnappers are old whippersnappers now. Welcome to the ranks of the confused. I want to send you some complimentary Geritol from my stash. Do you want the liquid, tablets, patch, or the new version they imbed in your office chair for slow release?

I am with you on the fruit phone nonsense. If it were up to me I’d use two tin soup cans and a string.

Sure. Geeks lined up overnight all over the world to get there hands on the latest and greatest from Cupertino. Too bad they were sent home packing with their new toy in the box because the devices couldn’t be commissioned in-store due to network trouble.

Though I am a true MacAddict, I too will pass on the sleek new eyePhone – the eye is for “eye candy” I believe. It’s sleek and has a beautiful interface. But if the eyePawd I just replaced a battery in keeps falling short of its expectations, I can just hold it up to my ear and at least look cool.
