Why people need the geeks…

// June 24th, 2009 // 6 Comments » // Life's Happenings

Good enough that I am my own tech support person.  And with the credibility of todays’ technology, I also handle the support calls of family, friends neighbours, acquaintances an the likes.

The WWDC saw the launch of the new OS 3.0 with a plethora a new features (albeit, after 5 beta versions). I never tried to use the beta versions since they required one to have the UDID registered, and I could not get my hands on one.
