V01 UKC KM1X, good morning Darryll and everybody. I did kind of see it, I joined it late. I intended to watch it at one o'clock but I was over at a buddy's house and I didn't get home until about 20 after one. But I was following the thread in our chat and keeping up with it that way and then when I got home I turned it on. I wasn't really watching it, it was on and I had a tab opened on my laptop, it was playing. You know I hate Apple but at the same time I don't think any cell phone company has come out with anything worth anything in the last five years. It's nothing that's going to be making my life better. It's run its course, the cell phone has run its course. They're going to have to come out with a watch say that's going to do everything that the cell phone does in order for anything to be dramatically innovative. As far as I'm concerned I just think the cell phone, whether it's Samsung, Apple, Motoroll, Google phone, it seems like all they've done in the last, oh you know now instead of having a 38 megapixel camera we have a 40 megapixel camera. It's like yeah okay whatever. I just don't think, the translator, I mean how many people are seriously going to use that? I mean Google has been able to, had Google translate and you could hit your little like and have it do it and nobody really uses that. In fact if I go to Spain which I'll talk to about in a minute, I'll probably just use that. I just don't see how it justifies the price point. But as I mentioned in the chat yesterday, I think Apple has been so concerned in the last year about tariffs that the last thing they wanted to do was really sink a lot of money into putting tech into a phone that's going to cause them to raise the price even more not knowing whether tariffs are going to raise it on their own. But I honestly don't think that they're sitting on any mega technology. Let me pause. So I don't think that, I just think it's run its course. Samsung is going to try this whole foldable screen nonsense and they're trying to cram it down our throats but I don't think anybody's, I have not seen a single person with one of those phones. And it sounds like Apple is trying to go that route too but I don't know, not for me. But speaking of Spain, yesterday I pretty much have, we've nailed down points of departure and entry. We've nailed down dates and prices. We just need to book the flights but I need to send one final text to my brother and sister today and say, look, I'm going to be gone during these seven weeks. Are you guys going to be able to check in on mom and dad every week? And I mean it's a lot. I don't expect my sister to have to do it all herself although she's retired and she lives just as far away and she lives closer than I do. If I can do it why can't she? But my brother needs to step it up. And they tend to do the old, oh well we're going to be going here this week or whatever and traveling. It's like, oh, stop working it out now. But I want to get them on board and because that's just it. They always book their travel and then they just don't even tell me and then it's like, oh well Kev will take care of it. Well Kev's not going to be able to take care of it this time. So we will see. Maybe this time tomorrow I will have already booked everything, the flights anyway. And because there are, there's really good prices right now and I'm talking like, you know, first class round trip, you know, premiere, you know, seats that turn into beds and all that crap are really pretty reasonably priced I think for an international flight. So we'll see. But I'm already in Freeport. I'm about 10 minutes away and since it's 804 and I'm only the third person on the list and we've killed over a half an hour, I doubt I'm going to be around for the next round. So you could take me off the list. But I thank you for picking me up and I will listen out. This is KM1X back to neck control.
