Elon is using best practices for turning billions into millions 

That was a Howie Hughes original. The story is that he was asked in Congress how someone could amass an inconceivably vast personal fortune of one million dollars. I paraphrase, but his response was reportedly, "sir, I believe in a hard work ethic and dedication to one's goals. Also, I inherited two million."

I may be a iPhone 15 launch day buyer. My Xr is sorta dying, but want the USB-C to replace it.

Well, that was a great show! Don't need an upgrade just yet, but it's good to see what's going to be available. The most interesting iPhone features to me were the Satellite SOS and Crash Decection. Seems like the camera has become the main focus of present and future upgrades. Not quite ready to ditch the DSLR and all those expensive lenses yet, though. Sure would like to see camera makers like Sony, Nikon and Canon with the ability to upload photos directly to my iCloud account!

I concur it was interesting to see what is going to be available, but it kinda wasn't a great show. This is for sure the most picky comment you'll read here, but when Tim started with announcing literally in his first breath that this was about Apple Watch, AirPods, and iPhone, all the suspense was gone. No "one more thing" or something to keep hoping for at the end. Overused "magical" "best lineup ev-ar" yet another "look how good for the environment" screens...and I don't get the "far out" connection at all. The satellite stuff? And oh...the bear is still stalking that guy when he's explaining how his watch saved him? Guess he's still waiting for 911 to show up and shoot it. So great for the environment the damn bear was inhabiting first. Yeah...there's a fine line between comedic presentation and corny.

Yuck. This will likely keep me from updating to Ventura for some time. I don't need this aggravation, and there is nothing in Ventura apparently that I need or want. 

"I know engineers. They love to change things."

The settings app is going to stop you from updating? WTF do you do with your Mac that you spend that much time in settings? 

I have many legacy macs here. Every time one burps, I need to add back the printers. 

I just don't want this. At all. YMMV, but don't tell me what I should or shouldn't be doing with my macs.
