Gadget Man

Sorry about the lag in getting back to you. I finally got fed up with the BlackBerry and went for the new iPhone. Why? I bought two different add-on programs, testing to get something that would clean up the headers in E-Mail, so that it could be read without slogging through garbage. Nothing seemed to work. I tried iPhone last week, and the e-mail on that one is clear, no addresses unless you want them, no line after line of forwarded names etc. Just the facts. Beautiful. Since I seem to have gathered a number of folks who don’t know much about mail, they tend to forward messages with every name that has had access to the topic back to the beginning of the internet, leaving line after line of stuff with no interest to me or anyone else, followed  by a mail message of one picture or two lines of text.

It’s taken a few days to figure out how to work with iPhone so if you get something off-the-wall from me it’s because of my fumble fingered typing proficiency.

Everything I had on the MAC laptop transferred over with SYNC along with some I didn’t intend to move. 214 songs to music, 400 plus photos, half of which I didn’t want sent. Oh well, the little thing accepted it all and I still have mostly free space to work with.

Is the BlackBerry bad. No. I bought it before RIM caught up with Apple and added the touch screen system. I looked at the new BB but iPhone beat it, hands down, for what I wanted. Anyway, I’m happy now, spending way too much time thumbing around with all sorts of new things. Once a “Gadget Man” always a sucker for new gadgets.

For those who didn’t get the new phone number try this one.

                         (478) 396-2166

I carry the iPhone with me most of the time and calling this number will avoid getting busy signals on our home phone. The “E” likes to talk on the phone, and anywhere else someone will listen.
