I joined other technology fans on Thursday, June 24, to upgrade my iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4. I didn’t go over board; I could’ve lined up at six AM (having reserved a phone the week before), but I didn’t show up till around nine AM. I stayed in line for four hours, getting my new phone right around one PM. As I got close to the store entrance, Fox 2, WJBK, showed up to shoot some video, and I ended up in the background of a couple shots. You can recognize me as the big slumping bulge on the extreme left.![](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wastinaway.net\/shortfatguy\/images\/2010-06-24_fox2_news_iphone_story-lg.jpg?ssl=1\" "\\"Click")
