Why I don't want an iPhone

Seems like every conversation last week had some component of "So Bruce, are you going to get an iPhone?" in it.  Now I fully admit I have an unhealthy love for my MackBook and I am a card carrying member of the Mac Cult, but for some reason(s) the iPhone just doesn't yank my apple.

Here are a couple reasons:

  1. $500 freaking dollars.  Yes, yes, as a over-consuming American, where do I get off diggin' on the cost?  Because if I had $500+ bucks of play money, I would send my booty to Hawaii.
  2. I already have a loptop. And despite the conventional wisdom that I NEVER unplug, I do when I am not in front of my 'puter.  I don't have a crackberry or  palm device, my phone rarely gets used for anything other than the whole talking thing and well, I do like to unplug sometimes.
  3. Sprint owns me. *sigh*

Now of course, I may change my mind later, especially if the cost comes down, AT&T decides to play nice, and the bugs are worked out, but until that day, I will remain a mobile phone luddite.

For Thought

  • Quote "Peace"
    “Peace it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
  • Benediction
    Thank to all who have asked for this. This is a compilation of many different benedictions that I have heard throughout the years, no originality claimed, just some great opportunities to share it.

    Go forth into the world
    With compassion and justice in your heart
    Give voice to the silent
    Give strength to the weak
    See one another
    Hear one another
    Care for one another
    And love one another
    It's all that easy
    And it's all that hard

    Now may the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ
    The love of God
    And the power of the Holy Spirit
    Be with us all, now and forever more
    AMEN
