"F.O.A.D." wrote in message om... I'm aware of many of those differences. Very few have any significance or importance for me. As I stated, I tried out a new Samsung. Nice phone, but nothing to make me consider switching. ----------------------------- As a casual and basically disinterested bystander in the cell phone/smart phone thing, I've come the opinion that Apple has done a superb marketing job on their products, with a following who can't live without having the latest and greatest , either in phone models or ever changing operating systems. Seems to me that most of the hype is about new gimmicks and apps that are initially fun to use but quickly fade into programs using memory that you rarely use. Yesterday I had a discussion with my daughter about smart phones. She's telling me that she couldn't get along without hers. She has three boys in school, sports, Boy Scouts, etc. The teachers/leaders/coaches are frequently sending messages to the parents - texting and emails - letting them know of changes to this, that, and the other. I use a cell phone, if I remember to take it, but other than that I'm about as up to speed as you are on this stuff. I am thrilled, however, at how functional the library's web site is.

John (Gun Nut) H. -------------------------------- Yeah, my daughter has two boys, one 16 and the other 14. The 16 year old just got his driver's license a few days ago and both boys are very active in the sports programs in their school, almost year round. Both have basic cell phones for checking in, etc. but my daughter has very strict rules about other uses. She has forbidden them from using social networking applications such as Facebook and Twitter, at least until they are older. It may sound a little tyrannical in this day and age but both boys are normal kids, respectful and well adjusted in overall attitudes and behavior. |
