Good morning, Box. T-storms in Chicago, so the yard's not getting mowed like it so desperately needs. Hopefully tomorrow will be dry enough.

I successfully put a new battery in my iPhone 3G this morning. Not too terribly hard to do.

Helllllo! I've been MIA for the past 10 days! I was in LA for a conference -- it was fab. Then off to Boca Raton for a visit with a girlfriend. Her hubby was out of town on business, so it was a perfect time for a girls visit.

Anyhoo, I'm not very good at following FT from my iphone.... it's just too hard!

hope the :rolleyes: were minimal, and the upgrades were ^ during my absence. Had to ride the ERJ from PBI to IAH yesterday. Guy next to me decides he owns armrest AND the adjacent inch or two into my space. Literally. His elbow was OFF the armrest and over my hip. So you know what I did? (I'm so sick of playing armrest wars...) I just put my arm RIGHT ON TOP OF HIS and used his arm as my armrest. He didn't budge. I thought surely he'd move his arm, but he didn't. We didn't say one word the whole flight. Friggin' hilarious!

Happy Saturday everyone :)

300-some people for a fundraiser tonight plus a wedding. Should somewhat make up for the somewhat low tippage the last couple nights.

Returning from lav, woman to husband: "Harvey, you should see the sweet couple a few rows back. They've had their arms on each others the whole flight. We don't seem to just touch any more..."

I thought Apple had it set up so you had to send it in and have them do it at some overly inflated price... not so? :confused: I have the 3GS

Does this affect your profession at all?

That would be very dumb. GM had some models that required major surgery to replace spark plugs. Look where that helped get them.

:mad: DVDs that don't allow you to skip to the menu and force you to watch 6 trailers.:rolleyes:

g'day box.

Nice to see folks this morning at EWR. Hope the rest of the day went well and the footie DO goes well. :-:

That's the preferred way to do it, but if you're reasonably handy and able to work on small parts, it's doable. Also much cheaper - I paid $20 for the battery. Apple charges $80 to do the service.

Basically, you need a #00 and #000 Philips screwdriver, a pair of tweezers, a suction cup (to pull the display out), steady hands, and 30-45 minutes if you haven't done it before.

I'm sure there are videos on youtube that show how to change the batteries.@:-)

Usually if they won't let you skip, they'll let you fast-forward, at least. :td: in any case. Those are the DVDs I rip to my PC and reburn them with the restrictions removed.

Yes it was a nice time. I can't wait to see the bag claim pics :eek:

You went to Boca, to visit girlfriends...I smell Trouble brewing, was BOCA out of town? LOL

and...That's what YOU get for not flying Mainline to IAH, I am getting sick of the ERJs PBI/IAH this time of year...

That sounded like Al & Peg...LOL or that Episode where Jefferson and Marci pretended to be Al & Peg hehe.

US vs UK soccer, is that fans in the background or the worlds largest swarm of bees?!
