    Linux users are their own sort of elite though! (I say this as a fellow Ubuntu user!)

    I came across this blog post about a US politician who screwed up his annual candidate filing, and the excuse was that it was "sent from his iPhone".

    The blogger then suggested people should think up how certain historical disasters/events might have been recorded if people had iPhones at the time. Most of them aren't very good. This one wasn't bad though.
    I have a dream. More on this tomorrow.

    What about here? What if ivor C had an iPhone. Could he concoct a plausible excuse for the expenses misfilings, if they were sent from his iPhone. or John Gormley, could he issue the permit for the incinerator "by mistake" if he uses his new iPad to write the email. it might get him off the hook with his local voters :mrgreen:

    Wow, I go away for the weekend and I see it's gone 11 pages, my best thread ever. I'll enjoy having a read over it.

    Well, whatever about Gormley (would love to see him using is iPad while cycling his bike) I don't think the iPhone Defense would cut the mustard for poor Ivor, as there'd be no mobile coverage in Bantry!

    I'm paying the price for praising Apple. My MacBookPro is blakscreening on me. Looks like the video card is gone which probably means a new motherboard. Curses!

    You can always buy the new MacBookPro.

    Wouldn't he be iVor to reflect his status as being better than the hoi-pollloi if he were a user?
