    This was a brilliant show. Despite being and Apple fan you guys really pointed out the issues in the press event well. I do have dropped calls, but after getting a case my problem is solved. I like the new day of the week :)

    I was hoping someone would call Chris out. Wife = Widget. She is good for checking weather. Really Chris! I hope these are not your true colors.

      She is my widget. But that is not a bad thing. I have a hard time with her doing stuff for me. I shop for my clothes, I buy my own toys, it’s just what I am used to. She is teaching me to ease up a bit. And I had to start somewhere.
