The only problem with that display Patrick is they forgot to add that iPhones run iOS and the Samsung runs the Android system. Join in any knowledgeable forum where users have experience with both systems and listen to the horror stories about using the Android system and especially a Samsung. (No support, no upgrades, and just as expensive as any iPhone.) No thanks... I'll stick with Apple any day. Who cares who had what and when. I don't.

OK... and that's enough trolling for today. ;D

It's too early in the day....

There's one Android smartphone, for $650, that does get updated on the regular basis. If I'd could convince myself for having an Android device, that would be it, but I just cannot...

A bit off topic but listen to this: I was looking for packing material and a box to put a 27" iMac in and safely get it to my son in Georgia (the state, not the country!). I found a place on the web where they specialize in providing boxes and packing for all makes and models of computers, both desktop and notebook. The box and packing material for the iMac is $53.00! And of course it will cost around another $60 to ship it via UPS or FedEx. Ridiculous.

ROTFL. Ridiculous is not the first word that came to mind but that works as well as anything I've thought of. You could probably go to your local packing outlet and get it done well for less than that. I know it didn't cost that to ship my wife's PC to Forth Worth the last time it needed to be repaired.

I got my existing 27" iMac shipped from my son in Whitehorse who got and used part of the cardboard packaging from a local bicycle shops up there, a utility knife and a roll of good quality Canadian duct tape all for probably well under $10.00.

But yes, the more expensive stores are available and probably loved by those who just like the convenience. I will agree they're a bit over the top and excessively expensive.

PS: Even our own local small Canada Post outlet sells cardboard and large mailers that could probably be used and then add extra insurance to the postage to cover any loss or breakage. But just brown paper and shipping tape may be a bit on the minimal side. :Blushing:

Go for real quality and import the American stuff for something important like a Mac.

You're joking right Slydude, if the American companies can make and sell good quality duct tape.

And I hope you've been able to watch some episodes of "The Red Green Show" and his use of duct tape with references that only the Canadian made tape will work properly.

Enjoy… ;D

I love that show. Have ever since I first saw it years ago on the public broadcasting outlet here. When they stopped running it here I'd watch every time I visited my wife in Iowa. The show was still a big hit there even after other outlets stopped showing the episodes. Now I have to watch there here https://www.youtube.com/user/RedGreenTV

I love that show.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it and we miss it here and too bad the show came to an end, but I didn't know it was shown in the US.

And thanks for the youtube link, I didn't know that existed either.

Some of the streaming services also have some of the episodes archived but I can just as easily watch them on YouTube without the extra cost. I found the link by accident one day. Knowing I loved the show my wife suggested I look for DVDs of the show. I found that link instead.
