I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Hey. New board.

On some providers, Treo data is not $45 a month. I get 5 MB/month for $9.99 on Cingular, which is more than enough for my occasional email and VERY occasional web use. For $20, I could get unlimited data on it.

$.01/KB, the pay-as-you-go-rate is rather highway robberyish, though if you often have access to WiFi it might be aight.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay...so I just got an email from weaknees.com that advertises its new terabyte tivo! It is "on sale" for $1400.

Damn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I got that too! Is it just DirectTV TiVos? I stopped paying attention once the price registered.

I like my TiVo, and I like capacity...but not that much. Never that much.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

For you Treo lovers, I need to know why you love them so much.

My contract with Cingular ends in about 5 months and I need to decide what my next cellphone will be. I love my Palm PDAs. I am not sure why I need it integrated with my phone. What benefit is there in doing this besides being able to immediately call those in my contact book?

FTR: My Tungsten 5 dials numbers on my Razr. I don't know how immediate you mean, but I like it because I don't have to have any but my most-used numbers on my phone, and it's not very many steps.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah, I think at the very least, I need to get a bluetooth phone.

If I only had a brain...

For you Treo lovers, I need to know why you love them so much.

You completely stop caring when and where a show is on. "House" is on whenever you feel like watching it. Catching up on three weeks' worth of "Veronica Mars"? No big. Supper isn't finished by 8PM on Wednesday? Whatever.

Don't feel like sitting through the commercial? Start watching "Stargate" 15 minutes late, then hit fast-forward whenever a commercial shows up.

Stop running your life by the TV schedule; run the TV schedule by your life.

Betsy, you're talking about Tivos, not Treos, right?

Oh, God.

Yes, and did I mention that Treos make fantastic vibrators?

stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.....
