Good grief!!!! kstar.
Where have you been?
Nice to see you!
Annie
Bulldog, ummmm......
I don't know if your intention is to be disliked and ignored but that's where your going.
spitsong has been posting here since 2003 and most of the rest of us for just as long. You've been here since Dec. 17th 2008 and yet you think it's OK to come in here and tell us how to behave.
We've had one of the best boards for years. We've become friends. There have been births and deaths and weddings and funerals and experiences too many to name. We sometimes talk about things other than Apple and AAPL and yet we are still here.
Lighten up. If you want to be a part of this group than back off. You are not the board police. No one is going to listen to you or take you seriously or accept you if continue to order us around. That's not your job.
You might want to get you facts straight as well. Jonathan Ive is the man responsible for some of the great designs, not Cook.
Annie
titan, welcome! a breath of fresh air you are.
No ranting, no screaming, no walking in the door waving your arms and saying look at me, I'm important and all knowing.
Calm, thoughtful, intelligent surmises and a rational look at the future. Where the hell did you come from?
We know the quick decline a person with pancreatic cancer can suffer. We lost one of our best to it last year. I'm sorry about your friend.
Hang around here please. We need all the sanity that we can gather or amass or stitch together right now.
Annie
Oh dear, not good.
I wish Steve the best.
I sold almost everything I had this morning because I think this market is going to stink for a very long time. Out of GOOG, BIDU, half my AAPL, keeping my few piddly shares of V and half my ERF only for the dividend. I'm thinking I may buy art.
Tomm, what say you and I go halves on one of April's paintings. It could live at your house half the year and mine the other half. Bet we wouldn't lose any money.
Annie
Shi_ !
No new mini. That thing is ancient. The MacBook Pros are almost new.
Upgrade the damn Mini!!
Sorry........I'm not happy.
Annie
P.S. I happen to use and like Pages. I know most here do not. I'm glad to see an upgrade to iWork.
Lisa, protein.
Lots and lots of beans and rice and nuts for a start. Then there's whole grains, some green veggies like broccoli, good ole tofu, cheese and yoghurt if he's not a vegan. Anyway there are a lot of good healthy protein sources.
For me, give me a nice flat iron or hanger steak, lol.
Annie
Bootz, that one works. Thanks. eom
Happy New Year everyone.
May this year be the beginning of a brighter, safer, happier future for all of us. I feel better about that possibility than I have for a very long time.
As for Apple in the new year, may it continue its progress into schools, people's homes and businesses around the world.
Annie
OT Bootz,
Where did the River Walk pic go? I want to show it to my husband.
Thanks,
Annie
Anyone live near a Walmart?
San Francisco doesn't have one. Have no idea where the nearest one is and wouldn't want to go if I did. Santa gave me the flu for Christmas. At least I think it was
Santa.
I am wondering what the turnout is like for the iPhone.
Annie
OT Bootz, geeze!
I bought the FZ28 on your recommendation for my husband and now you've gone and gotten something different yet again. How is a person to keep up?
Annie
sinclap. good grief!
Please stop. That one is even worse than the one before.
Annie
Aw, what nice guys you and Fin are. eom
Bulldog,
Sorry to have offended you. I took your post to be yet another slam of Apple and AAPL by yet another of the new people who seem to come around here on bad news.
I was not in the best of moods. Losing a parent can do that to you.
Annie
Thanks Bootz, eom
Heywood,
That's pretty cool! Or should I say hot? Where was that?
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that one.
Annie
OT, need Christmas help Bootz
Any OK to good cameras at around the $150.00 range? It's for my kid who would prefer a DSLR but it's coming from a mom who already bought him a new iPod touch and has to go cheap on the camera.
I know you are the one to ask.
Annie
Cruel and unusual Bootz,
We have fog
Dilly would have liked it.
Annie
Very handsome turkey tomm....
or is that very handsome tom turkey?
Annie
clear.....22% for iPhone.
What was the percentage last quarter? Or the quarter before? 22% ain't chicken feed, especially compared to Palm. Doesn't that make 22% using Mac OS? I like it.
Annie
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
I hope all your turkeys are moist, your stuffing not soggy and your homes full of people you love.
Annie
I helped with the notebook sales.
I bought my first laptop and boy is it strange. I got the 15" MacBook Pro with the multi-touch pad. If you're not careful all kinds of weird things happen depending on how many fingers you have on the pad. This is going to take some time to get used to for this old lady.
Annie
Bootz, um, I have to ask.
Just how many cameras are you up to now? Or, should I ask how many do you not own? Which is the greater number?
Does Mrs. Bootz get and equivalent toy for each of your cameras?
Annie
Boy, the response to the most historical election in our lifetime is positively underwhelming here.
I, for one, am thrilled.
I am disappointed in one thing. San Franciscans did not pass proposition R, the measure that would have renamed our sewage plant the George W Bush Sewage Plant. I can kind of understand in that it really would have been an insult the sewage plant.
Nice image tomm.
Annie
Bootz, lol!
Now why does that not surprise me? But......where are the close-ups?
Annie
OT voting,
Firstly, everybody VOTE!
Secondly, I just looked out my window to my voting place which is 3 doors down. In all the years I have voted there I have never seen more than 1 other person when I went to vote. There is a line of about 20 people standing on the sidewalk. That's huge.
Tomorrow we will have either a black president or a female VP. I thought I might see one in my lifetime but never imagined that I would see a choice like this one in the same election. Pretty amazing and wonderful.
Annie
P.S. I will be soooooo happy to see the end of Bush. I might be able to travel to a foreign country without being ashamed of our leader.
Bootz, geeze!
Still waiting for under $3.00 here in SF. But, we live on a virtual island and those who provide us with fuel for all the eversouseful Hummers just laugh and stick those little plastic numbers up on the price boards in what ever order that suits them on any given morning....or afternoon......or evening.
And sorry Tex, but I love my Mini.
Annie
Oops, sorry, duplicate and wrong.
Songs aren't loaded. It's been one of "those" days and I'm not even talking about the market. Time to consume way too much wine.
Annnie
pdq, it's a limited edition 2,500.
Comes loaded, Beatles' logo on the front, Abbey Road etched on the back, 13 CDs, 2 masters, the Love CD and an engraved guitar pick.
Annie
Bloomy's selling a special edition Beatles iPod,

When did this happen?
Annie
Way OT but someone here might be interested.
Live in metropolitan NY, NJ or So Cal? Want to take part in a 1 year test program by leasing an all electric Mini Cooper?
500 people will be selected to take part in this program. If you want to know more email me and I'll forward the details. aaplannie@mac.com
Annie
I was looking at a refurb MacBook.
160 HD, 2 gigs memory, 2.4GHz. I brand new one (white) configured the same way but at 2.1GHz costs $100.00 more. Think I'll go with the refurb.
Annie
OT My mailbox here.
I keep seeing 1-2 messages in my mailbox but when I go to the mailbox there is nothing there so if someone is trying to end me a private message I'm not being rude, I'm just not seeing it. You can send anything to aaplannie@mac.com.
Annie
Store's closed. EOM
Way OT but looking for help.
Any attorneys here that know anything about conservatorships and elder care?
Thanks in advance if so,
Annie
dholt, oh God......
That's incredibly embarrassing. Just when I think they can't possibly make an ad worse that the last one they do. I don't know which is more frightening, that someone thought of it or that someone liked it enough to OK it. Just proves yet again, money and good taste don't always go hand in hand.
I loved the one comment "I don't think I've ever felt a stronger desire to shoot myself in the face."
Annie
Bootz, another oooh, ah.
I have not seen that one before. Do you happen to know what it is?
Thanks,
Annie
Bootz, thanks for asking.
I thought I was the only one in the dark.
BTW, do you know you have mail? Here?
Annie
It's a thought bubble. EOM
And McCain looks like a naked mole rat. end of rant
