Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I kept my old RAZR to use in Europe, all I need to do is buy a sim card and top up the minutes.

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?

All I can think of is if you have Tivo, there's the Tivo-to-go app. But then, you're not quitting TV since you need to record the show and download from the Tivo. So, no.
