Good, because I am such a delicate, little flower. Ask anyone.

You suffered enough typing all that on that iphone keyboard (oh wait, we finally got a landscape version that can be used in a few select programs last June!).

I'd hoped (and I suspect you did) recognize the irony of that sig, "Sent from my iPhone". As you no doubt recall, it's the default on the iPhone's mail app (sub. "iPod" as appropriate). That always struck me as a tad hubristic, though I did see once the suggestion to use it at times (even from your workstation) if ever you wanted to give someone the impression you were on-the-go and too rushed to talk. No-one would believe that from relaxed and lethargic me though.
'S okay. I'll return the same for my response. Sometimes you need to get those burrs out from 'neath your seat, eh?

Just pointing out that the iphone is easy to use but with very limited functionality. And after all we non-believers have to take all that incessant chanting from those Apple fanboys (who must inject their nonsense into every discussion about any phone on the web, it seems) we have to get our voices heard occasionally. Enjoy your iphone!

The iPhone is not limited for my own requirements, and those requirements are the ones by which I select my purchases, and not by those of others. I have not "set the bar low" in that selection - I have selected it at exactly the right position (not "height") for me. I am satisfied...pleased even. How that satisfaction and pleasure transfers to others, I do not know, and usually only try to recommend anything within the bounds of my explicit experience, knowledge & subjectivity. All of which leads me too...
...All fanboys (of any brand) can behave like twats. I understand & empathise with the annoyance. I am not one. I have bought some Apple products recently, mostly for reasons unrelated to notions of technical advantage. I still mostly use my Ubuntu lappy (Fujitsu FWIW). I enjoy my Apple products, but am not without any criticism (e.g. I want to bounce my gods-damned "Mighty Mouse" off Jobs's dome most days). Similar to the way you dislike the fanboy religious advocacy, I am frustrated by the anti-Apple Mob's generalisation of all of their customers. Actually, I've never rightly understood how corporate products inspire such vehement loyalty. To me, they're just products that I pay money for to fit a need/want. I've better things to expend my passion on.
Cheers,

Created very slowly then sent from my iPhone
