iPhone

I confess: after slight hesitation, I have become an early adopter of the long-awaited iPhone. I've decided to ignore the cautious folk who advised that the EDGE network would be too slow, that the touch screen interface wouldn't last, that the reception would be poor because of the metal plate on its back (I have yet to confirm this one). So, at approximately 9:30 this evening, at the Cambridgeside Galleria, an Apple salesperson delivered into my hands a beautiful, sleek 8GB model. Before my acquisition, I dined in Harvard Square, where I received a fortune cookie at the end of my meal that read, "Your inner child will play today." I noticed that one of my lucky numbers was 29, today's date. Normally, I wouldn't heed either fortunes or lucky numbers, but I let that be the little push I needed to make my purchase. More to report soon!
