Ah, Super Bass-o-Matic '76, we miss ye.
"Wow! That's teriffic bass!"
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Cool. I'll give it a shot.
Thankye

I am ready to give my iPod up for dead and get a new one. My problems with my 20G iPod (until the end when the click wheel died) has mainly had to do with the disk drive. I will totally admit that I am hard on devices, but they give as good as they get. Are the Nanos with a flash drive any more stable than the larger iPods? Will their smaller size make them more vulnerable when (not if) I drop it? Advice anyone?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Nanos have no moving parts and are quite durable. Maybe I'll look for a link - these people tried to see how much abuse a Nano (1st gen) could take - they dropped it on the ground repeatedly and it worked fine. They dropped it on the pavement from a car moving at 55mph and it got all scratched up but continued to work fine. Then (IIRC) they drove over it - the LCD display broke but it otherwise continued to work fine.
eta: Here we go. Looks like I got some of the details wrong... [link]
