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

Dude, do you want me to open a hole in the space-time continuum? I'm pretty sure that voids my warranty.

Eta: after realizing I had sent the picture to my old cell #(sorry for the confusion, hypothetical person who has it now), I successfully sent and received one picture (of myself, no mirror) via T-mobile.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

You should send yourself a picture of yourself looking at yourself in a mirror....

Eh. It doesn't really work. Though, I did get a note from 1985, signed by myself, delivered via Western Union that said "Get over yourself."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Am attempting to send myself a picture.

With a laser pointer. (Or was it just a laser?)

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

The Saga Of The Broken Mac has almost come to a close here. Thank goodness for Applecare, because we wound up:

  • replacing the graphics card
  • replacing the logic board
  • sending the monitor to Apple for repair

I'm now on hold with Applecare waiting for a product specialist because when they sent the monitor back, they didn't include my power cord. (Fortunately I had a spare lying around, but still. Not nice to steal your customers' things!)

Hey. New board.

so i upgraded to the Blackberry Pearl and now AT&T is telling me that in order to use the internet browser, i have to have an unlimited data bundle to use it. the unlimited data bundle? costs as much as my minutes plan. WTFF? why can't they be like every other phone and allow you to pay as you use?

AT&T has evil data plans. Apparently most of the networks do, actually. It balks me every time I look at possibly switching from T-Mobile, where $20 a month gets me unlimited phone data (including the ability to tether to my laptop over bluetooth, which is CRAZY expensive on AT&T) AND unlimited internet at T-Mobile Hotspots. Like every Starbucks in Manhattan.

What plan is that, Gris?

Yeah, Gris -- what plan is that? I'm just about to change my T-mobile plan because I have to get a new phone and they don't have my original plan anymore. How do I get that?

Huh. I have AT&T/Cingular, and the unlimited phone data plan costs me $20 a month.

Is it because S & I have a family talk plan? Or did I just get lucky and sign up for the $20 a month unlimited data plan before they stopped offering it, and I'm just grandfathered in?

Seriously, what are other people seeing as the cost for unlimited data from AT&T, because this discussion is confusing me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

IIRC, my unlimited data plan is $20.
