sj, you can also see if one of your friends has an old AT&T phone that they've upgraded from that you can borrow. I kept my old RAZR to use in Europe, all I need to do is buy a sim card and top up the minutes.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Would you get the hell out of my head? That's exactly what I did. The SIM cards live in the same travel wallet that hold my passports.

Um, sorella, we are damn near the same person. Basically, I'm just taller.

Sj,
I cannot find the service through my bookmarks, but I will look again later. Here is an article that might be of some use to you.

Thanks, le nubian. That's very helpful.

Funny thing -- managed to download the Windows 2000 driver, so was rethinking the purchase. But, I realized that new ink (printers been in a box for 3 years) would cost $75, so I might as well spend the extras $25 for a better printer that comes with ink.

MUCH taller! Even my 4 inch heels don't help.

TOO MANY CHOICES!! :) I'm going with the HP for the wireless printing and the cheaper cartridges. Thanks for the tip, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok. So I realize I am new to this whole smartphone world, and I also know that we've discussed several times here scenarios wherein one might quit tv by using one's broadband. But my broadband is limited. I'm paying by the gig, so I can't stream video, as my phone bill in the hundreds of dollars during the tsunami coverage will attest. (I'm on a better plan now, but nonetheless.)
However, I do have this spiffy new phone and/or laptop, both of which will play HD video and lots of hard drive space. Today I hooked up the DVI converter and the microHD cable and ran sweet sweet video off my phone to my projector. Voila, HDtv the size of my wall!
So. Now what I need to know is, are there apps where I can download rather than stream recent television, legally? Probably not, huh? I mean I got stuff like the espn app and the tv.com thing from cbs, so I can stream their stuff when I'm at wifi, but that's on my leetle screen instead of on my great big one. Am I out of luck?
