Comment on CMS Info by Aaron

Dude,

I’ve been playing with Drupal for my own portfolio site, and it’s way too complicated for me, though it would largely be a small and static site, so it’s a bit of overkill.

CushyCMS seems interesting to me, and if I was a better visual designer, I’d be tempted to use it. But Wordpress is so mature and so flexible, it’d be really difficult to talk me down from using it for just about any website, blog or not.

Brent - I’m not sure - I am still trying to find a good all-around solution. I’d like to sync my Gmail contacts, blackberry (and soon-to-be iPhone), Address Book on my Mac, and even Outlook on my PC if possible.

Aaron sent a link about LDAP the other day, might be part of a solution. Can’t remember the exact link he sent, but this is related.

MobileMe might work as well - if it’s more flexible than I think it will be.

Don’t get me wrong… not having to drive (+1), and no hassle swapping (+1) means Amazon FTW

Aaron -

Overall, I’ve been happy with Apple’s service. However, I’ve had to battle with them about product defects before. I had to negotiate with them about three stuck pixels on my iMac - they were hesitant to replace it.

On top of that, Amazon is shipping directly to me, and picking my old one up, something Apple won’t do.

Now, if you live close to an Apple store, sure, Apple service can be much better, but this is just another reason I give Amazon my business instead of Apple directly.

That’s a great Customer Service story. Driving aside, under warranty, Apple has been fantastic for customer service.

If you order stock (from them), they’ll swap it right out at the store — no questions asked.

But, having bought from Amazon, you totally did it right.

Aral-

It is included (200 I think), on the current iPhone plan, but it will not be on the 3G plan.

Oh well, I’m still in for one, lol.

Interesting — so SMS messages are not included in the US plans. They couldn’t do that here — we _live_ on SMS in the UK
