[gui-talk] iTunes and iPhone

[Mike Freeman]

Hi, Liz.

I'm going to see if the AT&T store can update the phone initially. After 
that, I'll handle it, assuming I have a USB 2.0 connection (I'm still using 
a laptop I bought in November, 1983 so don't know for certain). In any 
event, I already have another person on the family plan so will just take 
the plugne as I've read some iPhone tutorials so will be venturesome.

Thanks for your help.

Mike
