worse than white hairs and wrinkles

Steve got an iPhone, and he was anxious for me to see what it was all about.  He gave me this gorgeous demo -- all swift, delicate, graceful, gliding fingers taking me on a tour of our usual web spots.  Naturally, I wanted to try. 

I tried logging into my Gmail account approximately this many times:

mad
ms
madge.q
mas
ma
madge.q
madgr
madgr
ms
madge.
mas
madge.e
madge.w

When it was password time:

I do declare:  I hate iPhones.  Steve says I am getting old on him.

I hate them too, but Gia is in lust with them. I just got her a second iPhone...the 3G version...for Christmas. I don't know why. They will probably come out with a new one this week at MacWorld.

I find those gadgets totally useless for me. I don't need to access all that stuff all the time. We have one cell for 2 people and I call once or twice a month on it.

You're not getting old maybe eccentric....

I sat next to a friend at graduation with one. She let me use it to text my mom to ask where we were meeting afterward. HATE! Is not strong enough!

It doesn't take long to figure one out. I was frustrated too the first few times I used Casey's. Mostly because he loved it so much, was always touching it - it is the first thing he touches when he wakes up (so what if it is his alarm clock.)
However, I've learned to work with it, and I can now manage to make it work, even with long fingernails.

muah-haha... your household has succumbed! i have the older version and l-o-v-e it.

typing takes practice, but it'll come! dude who sold me mine in the apple store had some mad chubby fingers, yet he was lightning quick when it came to whipping out email...

you can do it!
