Clbunchofnumbers is a great cook! He just prepared a lunch of shrimpcakes, broccoli and scallops wrapped in bacon. YUM! I am a happy camper!

iPhone: Really like it. I tend to have pretty gosh darn long nails and seem to manage. It was between the iPhone and the BB Bold for me. I really really liked the Bold (and the "keyboard"!) however given that they were the same price, I decided to go with the phone with more features. Email isn't a priority for me (I can get it on the iPhone whenever I want but I don't need to get work email the second it comes in, though I can get pretty darn close on the iPhone if I want to), so the keyboard lost out. Plus, the iPhone has a true web browser (not the BB version of the internet), and though BB is now letting developers do something akin to Apple's App Store, the Apple version wins hands down.

My main concern was how it would be as a phone since I don't have a landline. No complaints. :) I also dig that I've watched movies on it while flying (no, I wasn't the pilot, hahahaha =)) ). I still have my old iPod, which I could see using if I ever started, ahem, working out again because it's so small in comparison. But I have what seems like everything on the iPhone- pictures (all of them from my computer), everything from iTunes (movies, music, etc), my Apps, it's a phone, etc etc etc. And I really dig the way that voicemail works on the iPhone.

HOWEVER, if you decide to get one, I'd wait til late summer/early fall. Miles, if you're reading, chime in here... supposedly there's a new version of the iPhone coming out. I don't think it's really the physical machine itself, but some really cool software changes (yes there are some drawbacks to the iPhone, and they're being addressed in the new software. :-bd ) As I understand it, my phone will automatically download and update itself, but according to Miles, it's better to wait and go new. :-??

As cool as the iPhone sounds I just cannot bring myself to ever buy one. When I get a new phone in the fall, I'll grab a BB. Then again, I do live in Waterloo Ontario - RIM buildings are everywhere around here and their head office is three blocks from my house. Plus, Lazardis was attending my undergrad institution (the University of Waterloo) when he started RIM. So for me it's a local bias thing that prevents me from ever owning an iPhone.

Haha, sure. But we had a Maurice at Duke while I was there. Claimed to be one of the Rothschilds. Turned out he was from somewhere in Latin America.

Sure did. When I originally tried to reply, I accidentally hit the edit button without realizing it. After adding my two cents I realized what I had done and tried to fix it. That, obviously, didn't work so well :oops:

Thanks for the tip, Sue! That gives me more motivation to wait. I'm not eligible for upgrade quite yet, so I'll just grit my teeth and deal with the Black Jack for a few more months.

Does anyone else here watch Grey's Anatomy? I fnally watched the last 2 episodes online (cable problems - long story). Holy cow! They really outdid themselves with the wedding and the season finale. I did correctly guess who would be getting married in place of Meredith and Derek, but the cliff-hanger was a surprise and was well done, I thought. It will be interesting to see how things get resolved in the fall.

Check out Mac Rumors. I get some interesting info there... they have buying guides that tell you if it's a good time to buy, etc because they know what's coming soon. When I bought mine, they said it was a good time. Same w/ my MacBook Pro. :ymsmug: I don't go all there all that often, but when I've been, it's been fairly accurate.

You better watch it, Sue. Mentioning Mac & Rumors in front of the pirate mod is not the wisest move. :))
