With the release of iPhone 5 my wife decided to
nickname me "iPhone 1" because:

* I am fatter in the body.
* I am very slow.
* My face lacks the right colour.
* My memory is totally inadequate.

Wives know how to hurt, don't they.

Well lets not talk about iPhone 1. It was too long agon (hmm like a few years). Lets talk about iPhone 4. As of today iPhone 4 is too thick, too heavy and too slow. I will give you an review on iPhone 5 same time next year.

I few sorry for our struggling good hard working citizens. It is already hard enough coping the carbon tax and high electricity costs, now they will have to budget for a new phone.

:D :D

Oooh, nasty. But then again, you could name her 'The iPod', arrived before the iPhone and in terms of relevance and function (compared to the iPhone 1), is totally pre-historic and useless :D

At work we had an older staff member who we used to call 286 because for years after everyone else he used a 286 and command line DOS and email and even 5 1/4" discs. When he retired one of the presents we gave him was a lava lamp with a 286 chip on the front - he genuinely seemed to like it.

Young whippersnapper. I was recently asked to write about how we used to do one of our work jobs 'back in the old days'. Took me back to punching cards on a Hollerith punch (no electric card punch) and taking them to the state treasury where all the computing for state government departments was done, and picking the output up a couple of days later.
Mind you, part of the work involved towing instruments in the ship's tank at Sydney Uni. I managed to dig out some even older photos where the trolley was being pushed at a 'constant velocity' by an athletic assistant, and instead of electronic recording, a passenger on the trolley slapped a paintbrush on a survey tape.
