Not give away phones. Jobs, yes. Stocks, no. Stores, of course not.

Phones? No. I think you should pay more for your phone as a tax so that others can get their phone for free. Unless you are ready to prove that you should be on the receiving end and not on the end that pays.

It doesn't matter anyway.

Apple is on it's way out.

Had a good run though.

Yes, in today's world, for someone who wants to have an equal chance, they are absolutely a necessity.

My wife is an extremely successful, educated and brilliant woman.

Never had a smart phone.

My 26 year old son is also very successful.

STILL doesn't have a smart phone.

I need mine specifically because I always need to be reached by email, text, fax or business phone. I also have reports which need to be checked frequently.

BTW....I have two....one from work and a personal one.

Not only are we not impressed, but I'd be embarrassed to admit that I buy Apple products.

CrApple?? 2007 called, they want their phone back.

NYC Apple Store. Fifth Avenue. Ever heard of Fifth Avenue? My phone works just fine. You couldn't afford to walk on Fifth Avenue.

Didn't you get the memo? Smart phones make dumb people smart. Why do you think so many people lineup every 9 months for then next reiteration of the exact same iPhone?

If I give it is because I want to give. Someday you will also give because I want you to give. With every passing day there are more people who think like me than there are people who think like you. You are going to give until you have virtually nothing left to give. Then you will know what it means to have less than you think you deserve. The time is coming faster than you think. I am only trying to help to settle the score before it has to come to that. This is what makes me right.
If one can't afford an iPhone - then they don't get one. Simple economics.

Any questions?
