Mac Evangelicals, that's where. Some upperclassmen in my dorm were
telling me that the iPhone was more like a computer than a telephone,
and that it will be able to do things that we can't even imagine right
now. They told me that the iPhones' guts is going to be just like a
Cray was back when it was drooled over. And yeah, the apps might have
to be cut down a little, but it'll still be able to do the same kind of
stuff - like a phonograph turned into an iPod. So you're telling me
they're full of B.S?
