Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think Credo runs on the Sprint network as well, for what that's worth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My experience with Virgin has been the same as megan's, to add another data point. I need a new phone, but I'm doubtful about switching away from Virgin to an unknown.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't make a lot of calls, but haven't had a problem with my Verizon iPhone in LA. It's been trouble-free for 18 mos, but I have the unlimited plan.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My sister has been with Credo for ages and likes it fine. I'm not sure what her usage is like, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've only run into coverage issues in Crescent City, CA with Verizon and I don't know of a single phone carrier that really works there. I've had no problems anywhere else including, oddly, national parks.

I find that AT&T, moreso than Verizon or the others, gets massively bogged down when you're in a crowd. I don't know if that's because they have more users, or a worse network, or too many iPhones or what, but if I'm somewhere crowded (outlet mall, Pride, a game) there's no chance in hell I have signal or ability to call, text, or use the web. Which can be very frustrating.

I had this problem on Verizon at the Daytona 500. I could get things through but it was certainly slower than usual on the two days when the actual big race crowd was there. We were on a rain delay and I assume everyone with access to a phone was trying to use it. Anytime we weren't at full capacity, it worked fine.

The iPad struggled a few times on AT&T with middling crowds. Probably they had more users and were quicker to find the limits of the network.

I only use my cell, so coverage and accessibility are my key points. Certainly I pay more than I probably could for my service plan. I just expect it to work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had trouble once with my Virgin phone at Dragoncon, when I would get texts on a several-hour delay. Only once, though, out of three or four times. And that's fifty-thousand people concentrated in a small area.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is there a way in Outlook 2007 to set different hours for different days of the week? (I work 8-4 MTW and 9-5 ThF.)

Compassionately intolerant

Still battling the transfer from my old mac to the newish mini. The migration assistant isn't helping much because many of the docs/spreadsheets etc. are older versions that the current os supports...or at least that is my theory.

Has anyone used Decloner, or similar software to find duplicate files on a Mac? I suspect I have many copies of the same photos and would like to clean up the inventory.

Update on the update. The quite nice local Mac experts will gladly upgrade my 2G to 8G for $149.

I really think I'm going to try to do it myself. If I'm gentle and patient, I think it will be okay. Saving that $100 would be really nice.

Set your hours for 8-5 and then make recurring weekly appointments for the hours you aren't there?
