  Am I being instructed by Apple Corp. as to what I "need to do in
life"?  I don't need their help to figure that out.  This boy does not
need music on the go.  He may enjoy it thusly, but not nearly so much
as when he is at home with his bombastic music system.  I have music
in the car if I want some travellin' tunes.

  Cell phone?  Don't want one except for emergencies, real or
perceived  Mine stays solely in the car and I place or take no calls
unless stopped and off the roadway or have mechanical troubles.
Again, not a device for me to get anal about.

  Pocket computer?  Ha!  Don't need one now, and never did.  If I get
antsy about wanting to access some stream of data, it can wait until I
get home.  Patience is a virtue, and there are multitudes of other
things to do in life beyond staring at screens and tapping keyboards
throughout the day.

  Camera phones?  I'm a pro, and those are but toys.  Stealing from
the Letterman Show, "I poop on them!"

  Now, if those things rolled out toilet paper, that could alter my perspective.
