I you were like me, you couldn’t wait to update to iOS 5, but from what I have read this morning and experienced last night you had to wait, and wait, and wait.
Part of my problem was that I was updating my iTunes on an obsolete (3 years old) Dell laptop. So what started out as 2 hour download quickly became, 3, then 5, then 7 according to the download dialog box. Next there was the actual download and update to iOS 5, which took another hour or so.
Here are 5 thing that I did to pass the time during the iOS 5 update:
- Contemplated the wisdom of scientist reconstructing the Black Plague as we approach the 2012 doomsday.
- Read War and Peace front to back, and then back to front.
- Watched the new Star Wars the complete saga including bonus features.
- Hoped to be the first to refer to the impending Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher divorce as the “Two and a Half Men Curse.”
- Wondered if Steve Jobs knew how incredibly wicked a since of humor he had? How do you simultaneously keep millions of people around the world in suspense… I’ll tell you in a couple of days after they sucessfully complete the iOS 5 upgrade to all of their devices.
If you don’t appreciate my since of humor, you should know that I have plenty of time to respond to comments as I still have to upgrade my iPad and my wife’s iPhone.
