Mike needs to read this article

lol!!! i have recently broke my iphone5, it just stopped charging, no new cable or anything helped. was in great shape and its in such good shape a company is paying me $158 for it.lol. and of course when im paying $180 a month for full blown service seems paying an extra $10 a month for protection plan seems well over the top for me. so i refuse to do it.
but since that happened im using an old school flip phone, $32 a month 1500 minutes ,and 1500 texts.loving the freedom of no contract and hardly any $$ to have to send out every month. but i was out playing with a windows phone the other day and im sold .it was really cool the way they work and make things so easy. im going to enjoy my cheap ass service for another couple of months, then i will be buying into the nokia windows phone. its a great unit.
 
Don't like apple or windows. I use windows because I have to. I have a regular clam-shell LG cell phone $28 per month small amount of hours, but it's only for emergencies and urgencies. Don't like smart phones, fancy phones (i, apple, windows, whatever) and will never have one, even for free. (phone is free, plan cost a bundle to use it). Would not do me any good personally anyway, can't see the damn thing, can't work it either, requires a Phd in tech. My current cell phone supposedly does voicemail and texting and pictures, but I would not know anything about all that, can't work it and I had every feature disabled (standard practice for me) when I got it a few years ago on purpose. I can't see or work the phone I have now either. I can make and receive calls only and that's all a phone should do anyway.

well first eric, wouldnt it just to be easier to tell us what you do like.lmao!!!!!!
just messing with ya, welcome back!!!
but i agree on this. i had a landline for 5 years and never knew the number or had a phone plugged into it. i started using it when the iphone died. took me a good 2 weeks to get used to not being online or checking my email 24/7. but now im used to it i can easily never go back. thing i miss most, now i gotta go buy a guitar tuner.
my friends got my new number, i didnt give them my burner phone # just the landline and i actually turned on the answering machine,lmao!!! there was some really pissed off people when it said 'hi im not home right now but please leave a message after the tone and i will return your call when i get home" you gotta hear some of the responses.lmao!!
the freedom of no smart phone is awesome!!!!! you should all try it for a month.

ok doug i see how it is. lol!!
 
I was Windows when Windows wasn't cool. After XP (what was that, like 15 years ago?), they couldn't get their act together.

One convert...billions and billions to go.... :)

I agree, although I think it was after Win95 that they couldn't get it together in my opinion. Things were better back in the DOS / Win 3.1 days in my opinion, but I'm old school so I'm rather biased on this.
I also tend to adopt new OS's about 1 year before they go away. I got Win 95 about 2 years before it died, Win 98 about 1 year before it died, jumped to XP about one year before it died and WIN 7 about the same. I still run XP on my laptop just fine though...that is to say it still works. That said, I'm not a fan of XP and very much not a fan of Win 7 and frightened to death of Win 8. Don't know what I will do when XP and Win 7 stops "working". I can't afford Apple stuff.

LOL, It would not surprise you to know that I have a "land-line", well, VOIP actually (vonage fan) and I use an answer machine and always have. In my opinion, you can't beat it. Easy to use, easy to write down the info you need and all that. Voicemail suffers from having to go through 16 steps just to hope you can get your messages and very hard to maintain or manage as well to me personally. Others can make voicemail and such do tricks.
I've never had a smartphone or fancy phone, but have seen enough demoed to turn me off permanently.

Mike...I was windows when windows was DOS and it was an IBM partnership..or a license agreement...LOL

If your last good experience was XP, then you need to try again...windows 7 changed the world and Windows 8.1 (soon to be windows 9) is going to set the world spinning. The key is having the vision to see it...and let go of the old bias...you think Apple works flawlessly...well, we both know that's not true and what it does well, it does well because it has no sophistication to make it in the real business world. It never has, never well and that's okay..that is not their business model...well anyway, though you would appreciate the CONVERT article

Before DOS, I worked on a Wang. I don't have half of 1% of the issues I used to have before with Windows before switching to Apple. I hope Windows 9 works well. I do. But, that remains to be seen. Oh, and Apple users got the latest OS upgrade for free....is Microsoft going to offer Windows 9 for free to all those suffering with Windows 8? They should. Now that would go a long way.

Mike...the 400 million recent paying customers of windows 8 are not suffering...the are willing to PAY for quality. :D Suffering windows 8 customers is Apple talk, not reality...
 
I tried to read the article, but when they make you register and install an app then fuggitaboutit.

Personally, I use Microsoft, Apple, and Linux.
 
It's about investment - not actual user experience. MSFT might be a good stock buy, it might not be. But, I don't play individual stocks. I play indexes based on financial news prior to 9:30am. If the news is good, I bet on the fund that it will go up. If it's bad news, VXX is my friend. If the news is nothing...I ignore and do nothing.
 
Really ? I got it off yahoo news....under finance...wow...

And Mike....you know I only pull the tigers tail, right ? :hi:
