Middle age geeks don't die. They just get new toys over and over again.
I haven't use a Mac for ten years, but I am using one now for work and I like it a lot. I've never used a blackberry before, but am using one now and have really been impressed by how good it performs as a phone, but also as a business communications tool.
Goodbye expensive Treo from Rogers! Too bad it cost 200 bucks to get out of a three year contract, but will not miss you come the new year.

Today I drove five hours in the snow to get home. I love NPR and snow tires more than I ever did before.
Saw the folks, and a old friend was made anew, cooked for a dinner party, hugged friends who whispered congratulations into my ear, satiated my ongoing love of fresh seafood temporarily, slept deeply, laughed hard and drove a lot.
I feel reset.
I am flying again.
