![]() For this, the iTouch punished me severely, like God in the Bible. Quite frustrated by this time, I started pressing the app icons more strongly and for longer periods. Like Pavlov’s dogs gone awry, I must have tried pressing them 50 times before I realized that it would not work, and I could not get my apps to open. They were there, alright, but every time I pressed on one, it teasingly showed me its homepage for a microsecond, and then went back to my app screen, where 71 apps were beaconing but playing very hard to get. I must have done something wrong, because afterwards, although I could listen to the music (particularly enjoying Mark O’Connor playing simple American folk songs on his new method for teaching the violin), I could no longer access any of my apps. (Note for future marital happiness article: ok to hide things sometimes to avoid conflict.)Īnyway, yesterday, I was downloading more music CDs onto the iPod part of my iTouch. The bills are usually under $10, so I guess she’s giving me a pass. I did what every self-respecting spouse does: I have been hiding the bills from my spouse which come through email, although I noticed one within her eyeshot recently. I just counted them, and to tell you the truth, I was shocked that I have so many! Most of them were bought (through my iTunes account) during the weekends, when I have some spare time for total abandonment to extremes of geekiness. By yesterday, I had accumulated 71 apps on my iTouch. The iTouch is also an iPod, so you can load from the (free) iTunes program on your computer CDs that you have purchased (otherwise, it’s a legal “no-no”, so don’t tell me about it). As a little Jewish girl, accordions and pierced ears were verboten to me, although my almost-twin sister (11 months my elder) has become a Jewish liturgical accordionist, and I got my ears mis-pierced in a shopping mall in Chicago attended by my son and a niece and nephew when I was 40 years old and my parents already gone.)Īnyway, back to the iTouch. (During that period, I somehow obtained and poured through catalogues of accordions, mesmerized at the different pearlite finishes available. For instance, music brought up a fabulous little ocarina, bringing back memories of a childhood where I was musically obsessed, a trip to Newark on the bus at age 10 with a friend, and the purchase of a wonderful little ocarina, which is a musical instrument made out of crockery for about $3, which was my life savings at the time. You can get a lot of amazing applications by searching. The most common price is 99 cents, followed by $1.99. The apps generally range in cost from free to $3.99. No, I am not on the payroll of Apple Computers, its producer.Īfter downloading Brushes, I got hooked, and began to download more apps onto it. I was extremely pleased with my little iTouch, which in itself is a miracle. If you’re like me, you make little fun things you can enjoy, and sometimes put them in the kaleidoscope program (Kooleido) to make them look every more funny and interesting. If you are a really good artist like Jorge Colombo, you can make New Yorker covers. The app I was interested in was “Brushes”, where you finger paint on the little iTouch computer screen. ![]() An app is essentially a program which you can download onto the iTouch, which is, itself, essentially a computer. ![]() (That way, I don’t have to spend $70 a month for it.) I bought it to get a certain art application (“application” now known in computer lingo as “app”). This is essentially an iPhone, without the phone service. This is what happened.Ī couple of months ago, I purchased an iTouch. Well, just yesterday, I experienced a miracle (actually two of them) with my iTouch. ![]() Miracles were in the Bible, like Judah Maccabeus, and the candle that burned for 8 days and nights, without oil.
