All I want to know is when I can buy one.

Cool. In the US the radio would have CONELRAD marks at 640 and 1240 KHz (sorry, kilocycles). These marked the frequencies of government transmitters that would announce the end of the world when a nuclear war with the USSR started.

I have to admit, the Apple hype machine is pretty impressive. When other companies came out with smart watches and NFC payment technologies, no one covered it other than tech bloggers. When Apple releases anything, it's all over every major news network.

not to be "that guy" who replies to his own post...but i had to add one more, he will certainly be missed

He did a lot of funny good movies. I enjoyed Good Morning Viet Nam. I suffer from being Bi-Polar and severe depression and his death is especially painful to me. I have a lot to be happy about but most times I just feel numb. I've had 30 surgeries since 08' for a disease I'm fighting and just had my latest surgery

Cyberbullying... What a waste of a cause. Why grow a backbone to prepare for the reality of the world when adults can just make everything Ice cream fairies for you? These professional victims are gonna have an awesome time getting to know the real adult world.
