I saw my first iPhone today. I was at the 40th anniversary "Summer of
Love" concert in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and one person
sitting next to us had one. No WiFi unfortunately, and with 40,000
people attending in such a small area the AT&T wireless network was
overwhelmed and people were getting "system busy." Verizon phones had no
problems, but Verizon had rolled in some mobile units to increase capacity.
Great concert. Talk about second hand smoke! Canned Heat and Jefferson
Airplane were awesome. Of course my kids were amused by Country Joe when
he did the "Fish Cheer." Gotta go find my Woodstock CDs. Harold, Turn up
the Mike! Some guy behind me tried to trade me a joint for one of my
beers, but I told him the beer I had was high-class beer, and it was
worth at least two.
