An apple today helps you work, rest and play

After nigh on a decade of avoiding them, in fact if truth be told, actively speaking out against them I'm just about to give in and get my first bit of Apple kit. As of tomorrow, I'll be attached to the new Iphone for 18 months and I'm scared.

Scared that I'll like the bloody thing too much. Fearful that the beauty and slickness of the machines that I've managed to miss for so long will become blindingly clear and that my bank balance, social life and general persona will suffer.

I'm terrified that the PC lovin' crew of which I've always been a part will find me and out me as an Applephile, Brass Eye style and that I'll finally have to make reparations to the likes of Wayne Matier, a guy I grew up with who actually has the Apple logo tattooed on his leg he's such a zealot.

God help me I'm taking the apple. The sins of the world will all be my fault.
