I'm sure you will survive, and not join a iPhone photo group and talk nasty about Leica's. ;) Cheers, Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Rabiner" <mark at rabinergroup.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, December 3, 2012 1:48:31 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [Leica] IPhone 5 for Rabs An hour ago the UPS man handed me my first smart phone an IPhone 5 I ordered 3 weeks ago. I can not text for about the first time and listen to music and any number of other things... Make a phone call... Just like the rest of my world. I feel like I'm re joining the human race I think as I'm 61 its not good to fall too far behind you get marginalized. : to relegate to an unimportant or powerless position within a society or group Or as Arthur Miller said: not be a contender. Make that Budd Schulberg . I can now join the throngs of Morlocks on the sidewalks and the buses and subways staring at the light in the palm of their hands as I press imaginary buttons on a flat shiney screen. Soon I will quit the LUG and no doubt join a "screw Leica I'm taking photos with my cell phone" clique. If that happens I hope someone puts me out of my misery soon. Didn't come with a manual. I have little clue what to do now. It will take 2 weeks to get my Panther who loves the snow operating system so it would sync with my macbook pro in which I type now. (on a separate real nice keyboard). Will I type super short notes as I see being done by some Lug guys using odd abbreviations from my iPhone to the LUG? I hope to be be a new true believer but I know there are friends and people I'm not working with because they could not text me. Or if they emailed me I'd not get it till I got home at the end of the day. So its a good thing. And I'm reading Chekov short stories. In a real book. Which I'm not going to try to put in the iPhone. It charging now. Theses a brand new Verizon store at the top of my hill on 80th and Bway maybe they can give me some clues on how to get the thing going. I got the black one. The clerk (crew member) at the Meatpacking Apple store told me to get a white one as it shows finger prints less. It looks like the obelisk in the beginning of Kubrick's 2001. I'm going to put on my Richard Strauss. And try to squeeze it in my black iPhone. Can you make movies with it? Maybe I should google it and find out. Then I google how to google with it.
