Her birthday was on September and I told her she can have iPhone for her birthday present but had to wait till December so the contract that she has on her phone will be over. (T-mobile now) So she's been learning about iPhone and counting the day since. LOL Yesterday, she was playing with demo at the store for the first time (her friend has it but she only look at it), I could tell she's in love with iPhone. :)
Wow...so you're switching carriers too!!! How fun that she's excited and has something great to look forward to :)))

I think it takes a certain kind of person to be into the kindle in the first place, and when I was around 18 (and through college) reading for pleasure was not my thing.  However, I am 28 (for 12 more days) and absolutely love it.  I am surprised though how many of my friends have been unimpressed with it and don't really get why I spent so much 'just to read books'.  I love my ipod, but only want it to function for my music.  I love my kindle, and only want it to function for my books!  It's amazing how many people just don't get that!

I have a 22 year old daughter who desparately wants one for Christmas (and to share my account, of course).  She doesn't know it, but that and an orange skin will be under the tree!  My 25 year old and 20 year old daughters have no interest - how silly of them!

Both my mom and 14 year old daughter are getting Kindles for Christmas.
My in-laws are getting a Kindle from us for Christmas - Do you think I will be on the good side of my in-laws after that??

My 18 yo daughter has had a Kindle for quite a while and loves it. She wants to be a writer so she sends copies of her works in progress to the Kindle to read and review.

Nice to see another homeschooler.  We have homeschooled for years but I am almost finished - my oldest went away to college this fall and my youngest is doing most of her classes at the community college now.

Woo Hoo!  We got 100 votes. 

How long should the poll stay open and active - a few days or indefinitely or something in between?

I do the same thing too. I also edit my friends' work too.

The 40 somethings have squeaked ahead - are we the one's that most appreciate the increased font - eyesight failing, but maybe not quite ready for the reading glasses  ;)

Where are the rest of you board members - 112 have voted so far.  We usually have more than that online...

Thanks Angela.  I hang out actually with 50's  or less folks mostly.  Told my best GF when she turned 50 she was too old for me.  Get bored listening to aches, pains,  arthur,  bodily functions...  You get the picture.  (Unless, of course, it is me talking.
