I found it pretty nauseating too.  But it's a birthday message for DJ and it sounds like it was written by a young fan, so no harm done in my eyes.

Sorry to hear of your tough situation Buzz.  I know when we had to get our 2 labradors put down after having them for more than 15 years it was incredibly hard.

Unlike you I couldn't even go with them in the trip to the vet.  Even so just saying good bye to them at home was one of the toughest things I have had to do so for.

I agree though the good times you have with pets outweigh the times like this and make it all worth it.  But that doesn't make it any easier, ironically it makes it even harder.

Ok it was on their twitter as well. That's a good sign then hopefully.

I bought an iphone4 about 3 months ago - never tried any of the others you mention.

Prior to the purchase I had always been just a normal phone user, i.e. use it to call and send texts plus take the odd crappy photo and make a nice ringtone.  I had always resisted the iphones because I hated continually hearing all the iphone fanboys lubing themselves up over anything apple.  Plus I would pirate shit before I would purchase anything from itunes.

MY phone was due for an upgrade so I finally bit the bullet and got an iphone. I was pleasantly suprised and really like it.  My only complaint is texting with a touch screen is a lot slower with my fat fingers.  But I now find myself browsing the net (I never did before on my phones even though some of them could).  I don't do it a lot but I still use it as it's easy and I guess that's what it comes down to, I use more features of the phone since it's really easy to use.  Some of the apps are also quite handy (I only download free apps coz I'm a tight ass), but they are just functional apps that I might use when out and about (don't really care about games etc).

I also now use the calendar and sync it with Outlook which is really handy for my work when I am out seeing clients.  Again I never did this before on other phones but I did now because I found it so easy.  I've resisted getting my emails to the phone as I don't want to become a slave to it.

I definitely don't regret buying it and would purchase one again.  I need to upgrade my home computer and my wife has been on at me about getting a mac but I have always dismissed it.  But I'm sersiously considering it now as a result of my positive experience with the iphone.

As I said I haven't tried the others so it's hard for me to make a fair comparison.  All my friends that have had the iphone 3G have all told me how much they liked it. Again at the time I always struggled to determine how much was legit and how much was just them getting sucked in to the Steve Jacobs wank fest.  Now having used an iphone I think some of the love is justified.

lol - classic!

That said, Slash would peform at the opening of an envolope if he was asked to.
