Sean,

You know, afterwards I wished I hadn’t. Hindsight, right… My thoughts at the time were to back it all up and then start over with a fresh slate; a clean plate to lop all of my morsels on to. Well, I backed up all the archives and then proceeded to purge. Note to self ** test your backup file to make sure it is retrievable before you delete everything.

When I go back to open up the file and restore it, it doesn’t have the same expectations that I do, alas they are gone. :(

George: Ha, I feel you. My sister really wanted an iPhone as well (even though she in general can’t stand Apple products, go figure) and ended up getting a Samsung knock off, which is only about a spoonful of cool beans compared to the iPhones piping hot pot. Just start counting down my man, two years isn’t that long to wait really.

Lori: It has helped me immeasurably. I love being able to think of something, take out the phone, make a note, and have it waiting for me when I get back upstairs.

Trina: I feel so much better it’s not even funny. Okay well a little funny, but mostly awesome.

Laurie: I dreamed for two and a half years, now I can’t stop touching it!

Hayden: I would never write from the iPhone, at least not yet, but it’s great for grabbing email and taking notes. The entire computer experience will one day (shortly) fit into our pockets, I’ve no doubt. If you want to see something that might make you swallow your tongue, check out the TED talk about “the Sixth Sense.” Mind blowing, that.

Stephanie: I think I may need to set some of those boundaries myself! I pet mine a bit too much. : > )

Tara: What would be utter madness is pretending I have to go to the bathroom when I don’t, just to steal an extra minute or two with my precious… not that I would ever do that or anything.

Sal: A second brain for sure… On another note – dude, why would you erase your archives. I agree with Chase, it’s cool to start anew, but you’ve got to celebrate the past as well.

I just got an iPod 3G last week and minus the phone qualities, I am thoroughly impressed. I now call it my brain…

Soon you’ll be gently stroking the screen to remove invisible ‘bits’ and sleeping with it under your pillow, wearing it’s little safety jacket so as to not tarnish the lovely shiny bits.
That would be utter madness to do that though, no one in their right minds would do that surely . . . .

My dad gave me one as a birthday gift about a month ago, and I LOVE it. It really does work so well, and it’s logical and dare I say it…. EASY! I would say the biggest problem with it is that it is difficult to pull yourself away from it, and as a result, my husband is a bit jealous of my iPhone. We’ve had to put boundaries on how often I use it since it really is easy to become a very rude zombie staring it the pretty screen.

I suspect you’re right about the iPhone. I wonder how people assimilate information (like blog articles or news) on the iPhone, how does it affect how you write? (Assuming you can from your phone.) How will it change how we interact with the internet??

Many (younger) people are skipping computers and going straight to phones and I wonder how that will change how we use it.

Actually, I’ve been thinking about this a lot but since I don’t have an iPhone or iClone I have no idea. Do you?

I too have coveted the wonderful phone of i but, alas, I do not yet own one. You are lucky indeed my friend. You enjoy your phone and I will continue to dream about them. Until then, I will continue to play with my ipod even though the ear bud jack has a short.

…and man and machine become one… haha.
Glad you weren’t disappointed, and after catching up on your last few posts – glad you are on the mend.

I can see where having “everything on my desktop … synced in my pocket” must be uber-cool. For busy bloggers, I can see it would be a must just to keep ahead of the to-do list.

I am envious. Totally. I wanted an iPhone for my birthday, but it was never going to happen as it’s just too expensive to justify right now. So instead I was going to buy myself a cheap budget model to make do until I can afford one. Now I’m stuffed though because my wife bought me a nice iPhone-alike and it’s lovely but it’s no iPhone. And it’s not like I can just toss it aside when I can afford the real deal either as it was given as a very thoughtful gift. Drat!
