iTunes Saw Me Coming

I mentioned in an earlier post that I had downloaded "a few" things from iTunes the other night.  Well, I got the bill in the email this morning.  Between the songs and the new Apps for the iPhone . . . somebody tell Mr Jobs that he can order the new cabinets.

Grand Total: $32.68

As for the Apps, let me heartily recommend the Bible (it includes 30-some versions and it's free) and the Morse Code (because you never know when you'll be out in the woods and need your iPhone screen to flash out a message).  And, of course, if you've ever had that nagging thought that life "needs more cowbell", Cowbell Plus is for you.  It also comes with various other sounds, including a tambourine that would make Susan Dey and Davy Jones jump for joy.  You play the instruments by shaking the phone.

For a Friday evening's entertainment, I think it was money well-spent.
