SEARCH BLOG: IPHONE.

Having three sons who are all technologically proficient can be both beneficial and amusing. My wife has been after me for quite awhile to replace our old iPhone 3 models and I've dragged my heels for one reason or another... mainly because the old phones work fine and I don't have the need to get the latest and greatest gizmo.

We have a family plan to share minutes and that works well. But our youngest son doesn't share our patience when it comes to "cutting edge." When the iPhone 3 came out, he dragged me down to the apple store early in the morning and we stood in line for a couple hours just to get the phones on the first day. I wasn't interested in repeating that. Yesterday, as we were driving along I-94 in Chicago, he phoned to let me know that we could order the new iPhone 5 online if we did so at 3:00 AM ET. Needless to say, I didn't express any enthusiasm to do that. I told him he was welcome to handle that since he had all of the account information. He has had the 3G and the 4, and the 4G models so I knew he was ready for something new.

At 3:41 AM, according to the time stamp on the email, he forwarded an order confirmation that the phones were ordered and we would be receiving them in about a week. My wife was thrilled. She gets the white phone and I get the black one so that we can identify which belongs to whom. I'm thrilled that I don't have to listen to the reminders that I promised to get her a new phone when the iPhone 5 came out. I'm somewhat amused that the opportunity to order a cell phone could keep him up all night.

Thanks, son.
