Vermont is sort of like purgatory for gadget lovers. Beautiful mountains and valleys make for limited phone service coverage. We thought the oh-so-unsexy bag phone was a big deal in the early 1990’s. I sat on and broke several precursors to the palm pilot, then owned the latter for what seemed like forever as I waited and waited and waited for the blackberry to be serviceable in our area (I had the very first “Upper Valley”-based blackberry, even though they had been around for almost a decade in the city). The iPhone became available in Vermont this January, and I have been exercising extreme restraint waiting for the next version to come out. WHICH IT HAS. My birthday is coming up very soon and I’d sure appreciate it if you’d casually mention to Laurie that the iPhone would make an ideal gift…
