Ten years later, and having never touched a computer since (had my head well and truely under car bonnets and girlfriend’s skirts), a mate introduced me to Microsft Windows 95 and the Internet; Wow! It was life changing.

Now, another 15 years gone by,  I have a x64, i7, 6GB of tripple channel RAM, running Windows 7 with several TB of hard drive space (still ain’t enough – thanks PirateBay), tripple HD PCI-E video cards supporting 3 large LCD monitors. My how times have changed. That’s 25 years since I saw that Apple IIe.

I only recently got myself an iPhone 3Gs and now I’m playing cool games like Lode Runner and Hyper Olympics… well, it was a good price and I must say I’m pretty stoked at it’s user friendliness. I now understand why they’re so popular with geeks,  tech-heads and everyone. I’m certainly glad I waited until the 3rd generation to buy one… I’ve had a play with a friend’s iPhone 3G and it certainly isn’t as responsive as my 3Gs. I think now is a good time to buy the 3Gs, since the iPhone 4 has been launched, the 3Gs’ must be going cheap(er)… Still, I can’t let go of my trusty old Windows Mobile phone… It has served me well and can run any app. that I want it to;,,  I don’t need to have it approved by Steve Jobs’ Apple Inc. first. Take Doo Phone for example, creating an app. like that just isn’t possible under Apple’s iPhone developer regulations.

I guess there’s a niche for every type of phone; choice makes life interesting. Given the opprtunity, I’d like to try out other type smart phones too, such as Symbian, Andriod, BlackBerry, etc. One day.
