Re: Apple iWatch
I'm split between "Hell no!" and "Ermmm.... maybe.... if..."
I stopped wearing a watch at least 5 years ago. That's strike one. Every commercial I've seen shows these people excited to have a big ol' watch (and I mean BIG!) on their wrist... that they can interact with like their cell phone. *glances* Yeah... that's not going on my wrist. Strike 2. Apparently, they're following the inkjet printer model... the watch is cheap (relatively speaking), but the watch bands are hella expensive. Strike 3. And while I'm sure the technical glitches will be addressed, and not that they apply to me, but... tattoos make it fail? It relies on interacting with my skin? My skin is corrosive, explaining why my wedding ring's white gold inlays and ridged pattern no longer exist, and how that chipped arrowhead pendant I had years ago became a smooth one. Strike 4. And yes, you can get 4 strikes in baseball Not for me. If I were given one, I'd be stuck. If I won one, I'd play with it a bit, then sell it.

But hey... corrosive skin? That's wild man. How and why? Your skin grinds down metal? Are you a metahuman? |

Re: Apple iWatch
LOL! Not a metahuman or mutant so far as I know... and it's a very, very slo-o-ow process
So corrosive's the best name I've got... sounds far more intriguing than erosion

Re: Apple iWatch
I don't buy Apple products... because I was screwed in the Apple IIGS abandonment.

Re: Apple iWatch
I bought an Apple IIGS system and then, 5 months later, Apple announced the ending of support for that product line. They had decided to concentrate their PC efforts exclusively on the MAC line. I was a victim of fate, but still not too pleased to be out $1500. The ending of IIGS support meant, of course, that no more games would be developed for that line.
