And, every new version of something MS comes out with moves just about everything on the menu!!! I was once a whiz at Excel but not so much now since I don’t have to use it as much and most things have changed. More, they remove functionality. I once could 3D graph... not any more. Why? No answer from MS, somebody there decided to change it.

My iPhone... very few directions needed, just plug in and follow four simple steps to activate it. I can see I’m going to need a backpack battery though. I am grandfathered with unlimited band width and keep the thing on some kind of radio station or Pandora almost all day. It is the productivity tool I needed for ages. Apps are almost endless and cheap. Really don’t need to spend much though since many are free and useful. It is also going to need screen protectors and a case because I carry it all the time.

Every time I have to use a PC I’m reminded why I hate them.

Do some searching on Gorilla Glass - it's a 3M product. The iPhones and iPad have them - there are a plethora of YouTube video's on this stuff. 3M has a very amazing product with this glass. Unless you are intentionally banging on it with a sharp screwdriver, you aren't gonna hurt it. Watch a few videos - truly amazing!!

Unless you are around diamond dust, line your pockets with emery cloth, or have a habit of dragging your phone behind your car on the way to work - you don't need the screen protector. I got a nice snap on case to absorb any shock if I should drop it; but it lives in the front pocket of my jeans for the past couple years and not a single scratch on the screen. Impervious to mere spare change and car keys.
