Everyone Can Use My Credit Except Me

by A.J. Wood August 31, 2008 Editorial

If you followed me on Twitter yesterday, you know I was at the Apple store trying to purchase an iPhone. I bounced in about 1PM, and after talking to a couple of store reps decided to take the plunge. What followed next was the longest 2.5 hours of my day. I’m going to link you [...]

by A.J. Wood August 28, 2008 Adobe
