IPhone Schmiphone?

Last week, Kevin and I helped a friend set up her account on ITunes. I needed his help because while our friend and I are both users of Voiceover )the feature that makes the IPhone speak), we don’t use it in the same way. He uses it in much the same way that she does. As the three of us discussed this, they began to laugh and tease me a bit for being a geek.

I realize now thssat I will have to embrace my inner geek if I expect to get any work done and have peace with myself. One reason why I enjoy working on the Iphone is that I can work spatially–and this is why Kevin and Julie were not relating to me. They navigate in relation to what they encounter first, move forward or backward to find what they want, etc.

I have not fully abandoned the PC yet. I still need it for working in Hebrew and Greek. But wow! I am enjoying this phone! I have even found ways to work with my site content and files from my PC on it. Perhaps that is cheating, but I don’t mind.
