a gentlemen's wager is nothing to scoff at...
Aw c'mon, live a little! It just adds some flavor to a boring back and forth discussion where everyone spends their time wishing for what this thing will look like when none of us really knows for sure.
It's fun!
For what it's worth, I give you many kudos for offering to put something tangible on the line during this
looooong discussion/debate, even if it's somewhat silly as simply disappearing from the boards for a couple of weeks if proven incorrect in your guessing.
(And I also hope you'll remain humble too if proven to be correct in your guess?)
Over time I've noticed that too many people on these forums spend
endless time going back-in-forth with their own speculations, adamant that theirs is the “correct”
opinion and then, when shown to be incorrect once the facts are officially revealed, most often people tend to either
a) try to backtrack on their previous statements in some manner, or
b) just try to be quiet about it all and hope nobody calls them out for being provenincorrect. At least
guch20 has the guts to publicly standby his opinion one way or the other, so even if you're not the “betting type” or think he's “going to far” suggestion a friendly bet at least give him some credit for putting it out there to
hold himself publicly accountable for his predictions, whether he's proven right or wrong.
For that, either way the new iPhone announcement reveals itself to finally be come this Tuesday, IMO, guch20 is already a winner in my book.
