Well, at least you're moving on. It's a good time to be a clone, lots of film and movie ops on earth.

I love torturing people with questions. I came up with the name on a slightly insane role playing server, fun stuff. Have all sorts of slightly insane stuff written up.

I do as well. So many sales reps, clerks, etc. who are employed by most businesses are relatively unprepared to answer questions...and I can tell by the way they respond that few people ask them questions on anything but an extremely basic level. The only exception to this I can think of (off the top of my head) is Apple.

True. But I don't think you need to be an apple sales rep to know everything about their products. Knowing apples products in today's day in age is like knowing how to speak English.

Perhaps Apple is no longer a good example. Not recently, but in the past I've had a fair number of questions result in the lower ranking rep having to ask a person at the Genius Bar. I'd think 'I've got them stumped', but the' Genius' always knew the answer.

Hmm, I had never thought of it that way before...


You guys had best learn a few other languages, keeps other parts of the world open to you -- and you to them.


Anyway, this Android user says he prefers languages other than English. But he knows he must improve on his English.

I wish they would have taught foreign languages in all our school systems, but they just don't. It is much harder to learn them when you are older. Learning multiple languages when you are young changes the way you think and it is one of many things our current totally worthless school systems are lacking.

Android FTW! Done using apple since last year. Huge fan of the moto products. Waiting patiently for the second gen moto X.

Multiple languages are key. I'm Canadian born to Greek parents and they were insistant I learn Greek. Although grueling for me growing up having to attend Greek school on a Saturday, I sure as hell appreciate it now. Wish I paid more attention in French class, to be trilingual would be a major asset.

Well, as I've been told countless times by my seniors, everything gets tougher as you get older, wouldn't you agree?

As for our school system, I don't know what it's like where you are, but after realising how bad my education was, I have taken it upon myself to strive towards lifelong learning and showing my kid that learning can not only be fun and existing, but it's absolutely essential and is limited only by one's attitude. Sounds hokey, but whatever.

There was also a double meaning to that statement: the modern commoners now know Apple. If I don't, I can't communicate with like 3/4 of all the people I know.

You're right about the Moto products. My Moto G was just $150, but runs like any flagship phone out there. Maybe their awesome prices has something to do with Motorola being tossed around among acquisitions. First Google, then some Chinese company, then who knows.

My name is pretty self explanatory. When I am not at work I am a deacon in the Catholic Church.
