[LINK] Midnight rush to buy iPhones

[Scott Howard]

And while we're at it, what's this bloody TV thing that everyone keeps going
on about?? And now, today, I heard something about a World Wide Wab, or
something like that?

I really don't get it.  My 37 year old wireless still works perfectly, picks
up the ABC fine and even lets me listen to the cricket.

:)

(Ohh, and Adam, I already know what you're going to say, and I really don't
care - so don't bother replying)
