re: #129 Cato the Elder

Reine, just for you:

I cracked the hell out of my iPhone screen slipping on the still-uncleared Baltimore ice the other day. Miraculously, the touch function still works, but the cracks make it hard to read.

Apple wants $199 to replace the screen.

So I ordered a new 3GS 16G model, which arrives tomorrow. Twice the capacity of the old one.

But only after I found a tech lassie on Craigslist here in Baltimore who will fix the old 3G 8 for $65.

Once I’ve sold it on eBay I should just about break even.

Take that, Apple!

Good job!

You know, of course, that I got my 3GS 16G model after I’d had the old model for - oh - gee a month or two, right?

I was an idiot. But the extra phone came in handy when daughter lost hers.
