Husband has just had his regular Sunday call with his Mum. She was telling him all about the great thing that ‘Auntie Claire’ has got:
It’s flat
It’s about the size of a notepad
It doesn’t have any paper in it
It has glass on the front
It doesn’t have any buttons or switches
It doesn’t have any ink in it
You don’t have to put films in it
You can write on it with you finger (but no ink comes out)
It can show pictures
She doesn’t know where the pictures come from because there are no films in it, but she thinks they might be coming from Manchester!
(Why Manchester!!!???)
Can you tell what it is yet?
I wonder if it might be powered by pixies and magic dust?
…or those magicians at Apple?
Ah! Glad she’s so enthusiastic about it! Over here, the generation above me have greeted it more with suspicion, alas!
LOL! Apple really does have magicians working for them. I watched a special on Steve Jobs last night, and can’t wait to read the new biography that’s coming out today. Too bad there are THREE books on my nightstand, all of which I like, and need to finish first.
