I'm glad you're wrong. I don't want to have my purchasing options limited to Best Buy so they can charge whatever they want.

Am glad you were wrong but your prediction made sense if you saw things from verizon's business point of view.

Thought about doing that but it will have to be a date that will favor us all. If I predict like way out there then then based on my last prediction it will favor everyone and be sooner. If I predict soon it will take for ever. So I gave to predict the opposite.:icon_ lala:

eh, you win some, you lose some. We won't breakout the pitchforks. lol

 

[pilot25]

Can I rag on you for using the term "yall?" What about the fact that you don't even spell ya'll correctly let alone the fact it destroys the English language. Actually, can you spell a "word" correctly that isn't even a word? Mmmmm. Maybe you did spell it correctly but you should definitely never say that term. Do you ever hear anyone on national television say that "word?" What about in national publications? No...No...and No...

Okay, rant off....

 

[JSM9872]

For some reason I just have a heck of a hard time ragging on someone who has the predator as his avatar. Just saying...

 

[Liderc]

How about making a prediction about when it won't land, that way we'll know when it probably will.

=P

Kidding, thanks for manning up.
