System i Addict

So I just got an SMS message from my brother Michael. He is in line in Chattanooga, TN at the mall waiting for his iPhone. He said he is number 18 at the Cingular store. I think AT&T should use the Cingular name rather than AT&T. The old name sounds old. I would rather have Cingualr service than AT&T service. He is going on and on about some ride in a Porsche 911 the other day. I would have to admit it is one of my dream cars and I will own one in the next 5 years I promise you that. I would like to have the 930 but….oh let me get back to it.

He says there is a display in the store with the iPhone on it. Says that almost brought them out and decided not to. Now they are giving them a brief about how to activate the iPhone.

The guy also says that at the Cingular Stores you can buy one and ship the second one. So the Apple stores get 2 per person and at Cingular stores you get one and order a second one. The guy still does not know how many they have in stock? Odd

First guy in line there sold his stop for $300 to some other guy. Michael is sweaty and hot there, they are on the sidewalk and the only cool air is coming from Babies-r-us next door. The sun is moving over head and he is not as hot as before. They have 5 minutes to wait and things are starting to get crazy there. I bet this is fun for everyone. Wish I had a need one.

It’s starting to get really loud there and he says that everyone is being really orderly. One guy has a tent, he is number 4 in line. Playing games on a PSP or something.

The papers in town put the wrong stores down for who is going have iPhones. The place in town is where my brother is and there are now about 100 people in lone now he says.

This is so cool.

he said the first 11 people are in the store now and none of them have come out yet. Since the SMSs have gone quiet I would guess he is now in the store. Will have to wait and see.

The Apple Store just went down to be updated so we all know what that means. You will be able to order a new iPhone in the next few hours right from store.Apple.com

So my brother has his iPhone (8GB) model. The store only have 40 of the 8 GB and I would guess they have 40 of the 4GB.

Day After - I have not heard from my brother yet. I would have expected a call by now but nothing. I would imagine he is using his iPhone now and is pretty content with himself about it. I am trying as hard as I can to justify one but I just can’t. I might call our accountant and ask him how I can write one off the old taxes and see what he says. Maybe I can use it for my “Photography Business”?
