Title: Manzan
Post by: MaynardG_Krebs on May 04, 2011, 11:37:46 PM
After 25 years of using PC's, In a moment of weakness I bought an iPad2. After two months I started to like it and when I woke up this morning and looked into the mirror. Rather than seeing an angry conservative middle aged white man in the mirror, I saw a young, trendy, fashionable socialite. I am beginning to get a little worried about my sexual orientation and I am beginning to think in terms of objective C instead of assembler. Any advice on what I should do?
Or maybe this could be attributed to the vodka which I recently consumed.  :dazzled:

I tried that but unfortunately every so often I accidentally push the wrong button on this contraption and see myself with angel wings and a halo. Damn Jobs and company did a job on me. Maybe I better give this thing to my daughter and break out my old commodore 64.  :cheekygreen:

Hi,

   Well I do when I shave.  But I cheat by not using my glasses.
Works almost as well!

Cheers,

Steve

After owning an Apple product for a short time I have decided to remove all mirrors from my house and fade into obliivion. Apple is idiot proof but it didn't work on me.
:booppohoo:

Sometimes it happens to me when I look into that mirror that I say "no idea who you are but nonetheless I will shave you now" :green

Nothing wrong with mirrors, tuck your guts in and mentally re-interpret the image of that handsome fella you see in the mirror. You call Gray hair "experience", middle age spread "maturity" and the funny look you get from the youngsters "seniority".

None the less it does not hurt to keep yourself fit, but a pushbike (bicycle), run around the block or whatever flicks your switch but you feel and look a lot better for bothering.

i find that people see what they want to see - lol

or, to be more accurate, they ignore what they do not want to see, and the brain automatically fills in that part

Don't worry, it will stop the first time you deal with the app store to place an application. After that the iPad will seem like a "Big Brother is Watching You" dispositive. :)
