Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't have a problem with the flat buttons on the RAZR, but I do think in general it's a piece of crap. Luckily, taping the battery down does seem to have worked.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
From what I know of the Pearl, they are generally well-liked (totally just typed licked) and are pretty good value and use for their size and money. If I was in the market I'd probably get a pearl, if I didn't want to go on a plan with a sidekick, which I still think are awesome. But then, I wouldn't be using it for work, more my own pleasure and stuff related to my graduate (!!) work.

I need to strengthen my programming skills. And by "strengthen" I mean "completely start over", because I have forgotten the small amount I had learned a few years ago. Does anyone have suggestions for good, easy-to-understand, explains things simply and clearly books on C#?

fwiw, I love my Razr also. I have a black one from Cingular. The dark blue ones apparently were notoriously unreliable.

Hey. New board.
I love my Treo, because I love Palm software. I'm on my fourth Treo, but that's because I keep dropping them, not because of any specific problems. Sidekicks are pretty neat, too, and the Blackberry Pearl is the prettiest smartphone ever, barring the still-vaporware-iPhone perhaps. Plus, the blackberry OS is pretty kick-ass. I'd get a pearl if I wasn't addicted to 1) vindigo and 2) the official Palm scrabble program. Plus, I'm not sure how many smartphones have full-fledged NES emulators for me to play FF1, FF2, FF3, and other classic NES RPGs on.

Oh, I should get this! I'm starting to get bored of Sudoku.
