Public statement

I am totally in-line for a new iPhone when Apple lifts the expected veil on the device's second generation next month. My little Sony Ericsson brick is four years old, covered in interfaces that nobody supports any more, and works so spottily that I've been asking clients who wish to have a voice meeting if we could use Skype instead. I tell them that I'm holding out for the new iPhones, rather than just picking up a replacement. They understand.

Hm... I actually told myself (and anyone in earshot) from the start that I'd be in as soon as it hit its first major revision, so in that way I'm kind of pleased with myself for holding out so long.

and, the opposite of an apple fanatic: the local newswoman who was reporting on the store opening this week and pronounced "macbook" mikBOOK rather than MAKbook. i was like, um, it's not a mcnugget....

Not so loud!

Alternatively, she thought it was the Scottish computer. But in that case she shouldn't have said its name.

I heard about one person who spoke the name of the Scottish computer right before upgrading it to Leopard...
