Not all of those who use Apple products are sheep you know, especially those that would frequent a place like this.

Same goes for you, too. thumb.gif

(bolded) As seen in this thread, it's few and far between. There are ignoramuses on both sides of the spectrum, and our community is privvy to a bunch of them. thumb.gif

I respect steelbom, too, because he has been able to express why; adequately.

There is no need for smart-phones, they are a luxury. If I still had my old nokia, I would still be using it. My smart phone has been relegated to making/receiving calls and texts, and sometimes I miss the awesome battery life that came with those awesome pieces of tech, even the snake game.

^ This. If the old CDMA networks hadn't been taken down I'd still be using my tank-strength Nokia.

But I suppose they *can* be handy for checking emails if you're one of those people who can't go 5 minutes without checking emails.

If I still had it and the charger, it was GSM so it would still be functional. biggrin.gif.

5 minutes?

Heck sometimes I go days(weeks even) and have to consciously make the effort to be social, IRL and virtually.

Here is how I see it..

There are reall old Mac user's (me) who like to complain and wish it was the old days when we were outta sight outta mind though we still buy Apple stuff.

There are the change over people who switched during the time of the XP/Vista change over. They tend to be more pragmatic, but tend not to be as vested in Apple software.

Then there are the people that changed because of iOS. These are the types that believe anything Apple does is OK.

(I know this is a generalization and won't apply to everyone but I'd make a wager that it's close as a whole)

I loved my iPod classic 30g (b/w screen). It lasted through many a work day, and I listened to many a podcast on it. Then one day I was working and trying to change songs/podscasts and i dropped it, on in it's back, and the HDD went out.

I was a sad panda.
