Enjoying Money

Last night was bloody cold. And there are very few things which could have kept me out of bed, let alone camping on a city street waiting for a shop to open. But that’s what was happening around the country last night.

It’s official, iPhone 4 is here. They went on sale at midnight last night and I imagine it was a nerdier version of those shoe sales which turn grown women into frenzied savages. Even Masterchefs were out there cooking for the needy (and we’re not talking homeless).

New Apple Friend Bar Gives Customers Someone To Talk At About Mac Products

But I’ve got to say I’m pretty excited.

I just love Apple stuff. I’m one of those people who can’t live without their iPhone. On iPad launch day I was there, sucked in by the newest addition to the sexy Apple family. When my daughter Georgie pulls out her Blackberry, I just look on with pity and disgust.

I’m the person they’re taking the p*#s out of in this video: The Apple Friend Bar.

I know I’m one of those Apple nobs. But it doesn’t matter, because when you love something (or someone) you don’t care what anyone else thinks.

It’s been a long love affair. When I was running my little publishing company Australian Financial Press back in the late 80s, we were the first company in Australia to publish using full screen make-up on a Mac using Quark-Xpress. Since then our household has been through so many different iMac versions we could set up a museum.
