Part One of Two, written last week:

I'm on my third iPhone. Yes, the "old" style iPhone (read: twice as slow for twice the price). The old issue was...well, I forget what it was. But I had restored it multiple times to no resolution, and that was enough for the Mac guy to take it back on the spot and give me a replacement (refurbished, of course) iPhone. Huzzah.

The new issue? It inserts parts of pictures into photos that aren't in frame when taking the photo.

For example, this lovely photo of my father, which I call "Pouting Buddha":



Note the stripe down the left side, which shows another part of the room entirely. Odd, no?

Or this one, of a BMW GS 1200 Adventure:



Even more weird.

So here I am, in Starbucks at the mall, spending time restoring and updating Scout's iPhone III, Esq. Snooty thing, ain't it?

Part Two of Two: The "new" refurbished third iPhone does the same thing. And it's even slower. It locked up (froze) when I tried to answer a call from my mom.

As Lucy Van Pelt would say, "Arrrrrggghhh!!"
