Yes, I did it. I got an iPhone 4s. I did research, worried, and prayed about it.....and here I am typing on a bluetooth keyboard and listening to what I'm typing in my ear with another bluetooth device. Technology is scary. It is great though. Kate has taken a turn for the worse. I suspect she has a virus that no onne or no scan find. So, here I am...finally in the 21st century. AND DON'T CALL ME LYNN DARN IT.
