Time to Answer the Call?

I feel pretty bad about Apple's' profits being down from 8.2 billion to 7.5 billion this quarter from the same period last year.  Billion? Did you say profit of 7.5 billion? Do you mind!

I guess I haven't been doing my bit. I mean I was not one of the 9 million (and no this is not just me exaggerating- cause 9 million is like "my" number. If I happen to exaggerate to make a point (hardly ever) I say something like- this is going to cost me 9 million dollars, or I tried this 9 million times and it still doesn't work) people to have purchased one of the new iphone 5C or the deluxe 5S during the first weekend they were available. Well that may change. But darn it all, I missed this:

From the New York Times- Apple employees greeting customers in California. Look they are getting high-fived!

I actually don't have a cell phone- not at all, nothing.  Sometimes clients will ask me to text them when their deal is closed and when I say sorry, I don't text on account of I don't have a cell phone they are, (as maybe you are) AGHAST! How can you, a super cool, modern woman and awesome lawyer, (I'm pretty sure that's how they see me), not have a cell phone?

I have thought about it from time to time but have thought- I'm at the office or at home 90% of the time and those other times, well Mr. Lovely has a  mobile phone so if one of our kids needs us he can be reached- so why bother. Mr. L is a tekkie guy- he is always up on the latest release of whatever- that's how I got my iPad- Mr. L's reject when he upgraded to the iPAd5. (It's only a matter of time before he upgrades to the iPad Air and I get the 5- just saying). So he is encouraging me to definitely get the iPhone 5S and he forwarded me David Pogue's (when he was still with the Times, boo hoo we will miss you)review and assessment. One of the reasons Pogue liked the 5S is the outstanding camera in it. I'm now always borrowing Mr. L's iphone when I need a picture (say for my blog or something). He's good about it but I'm sure he wants me off that borrowing gig.

While I am enticed by the colourful 5C (did you see the lime, lemon, turquoise and the pink- so compelling cause they look so fun & hip), the bronze version of the 5S (in the flesh- I mean not on the screen but in real life) looks darn sexy.  I didn't make a specific trip, but happened to be in a mall where they had an apple store so checked it out- just to see, you know. It  also "felt" sexy.


So I'm thinking it may be time to ditch the land line and just go cellular. Really, we pay about $60/month and the only regular caller is my Mom - (we skype with the chillun) and the rest are mostly telemarketers. What do you think- time to get in the 21st century?
