so I had a popup about once a week asking me about transferring purchases on my iPhone and because everything was working fine and I was unsure what purchases it was talking about I kept hitting cancel. welp it turns out it was the two songs I've ever purchased in my life through iTunes and now that I have "music" to play then whenever Podcasts gets garbage collected it now decides to play music instead

what a lovely user interaction

most people wouldnt appreciate the difference looking at the two screens side by side because they're nearsighted or whatever or they just don't know what to look for

what they DO care about is if it'll take their 2GB flash drive with all their important college papers on it

i had her go to the Apple Store and look at them and she didn't care about the display and she will be annoyed forever at the lack of ports more than she will enjoy the screen. the air is a great machine and I have no problem recommending it.
