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

Ha - it was my second thought too. If it can puree a *phone*, imagine what great margaritas it must make!

All is well that ends in pizza.

It's Blendtec's Entry-level $400 ($600 msrp) blender. [link]

They are auctioning off the remains of the iPhone and one of the same model blender on eBay, of course.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If it can puree a *phone*, imagine what great margaritas it must make!

Not to mention the terrific bass frappes...

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

Ack.

I figure that when I get my new phone I might as well let it be smart enough to be my primary PDA. Right now I use Palm on the PC and iWhatever on my Mac and sync both with my Palm and my Razr.

If I lose the Palm, the Palm software goes too. Poking around at new phones they trumpet syncing with Outlook and Notes.

Is that it? Are those my reasonable options? I don't have much urge to switch eMail apps, and have been (sadly) accustoming myself to no integration between my PIM and eMail app. I use Outlook for work and don't love it.

I feel like a dying breed.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dang. I figured they were going to have to come down on the price, but that's pretty huge. (OTOH, cutting the hard drive size is just spiteful.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have had enough of the frelling hotmail interface. What mail clients should I be looking at for OSX? Any suggestions?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

OSX has an integrated client, aptly titled Mail, that handled POP3 and IMAP accounts. I don't know if Hotmail has free pop3 or not, but Mail is pretty stable and I've enjoyed using it.

Mail is nicely integrated, and except for its penchant for putting signatures where and when I don't want them, and the inability too selectively delete from server, it's great.
