    iPhone, huh, what's the whining about?

    Damn thing won't do my taxes for me and needs to be charged with "electricity." OMG, what wa s Jobs thinking? Crazy monkeys buying a product right out of the gate like that! Don't they know they need to wait and buy things when they are perfected? Maybe buying that MAC now and not back in 1984 would've been wiser - I mean that 128k did seem a little tight at the time... Silliness. The fun of standing in line for serveral hours and being a part of a new technology (real or imagined) is that you just know you are taking one for the team. The team that makes the culture move in useful directions and doesn't just sit back and let the world lead them. The team that beta tests over and over again so the cowards can have care free technology. The team that's having the fun... Yup, ATT sucks. Yup, the iPhone is over priced. Yup, it doesn't do ringtones - whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Yup, yup, yup. But, damn it sure does what it does do, pretty freaking well. Now, lemme see where's that damn network signal again?
