Thank you, sir. Unfortunately, on the way to Best Buy to actually buy the TV, my iPhone 3Gs died. Just up and died, dead as a doornail, whatever that is. Hilarious thing that's actually not really very funny: Back in 2010 when I got the phone, I bought the extended warranty for $50 extra, which took the warranty out to two years from purchase. The warranty expired on June 18. The phone expired on June 20. So now I have to cough up another hundred bucks for an iPhone 4. And I'll still be one model behind the current model. (Can't really afford $200 for a 4Gs right now, especially with the new TV!) When the 5 comes out, I'll be a dinosaur again. This modern high-tech lifestyle is expensive, y'all! --Van
