I think within about a year, I'll actually get a 3G, but the need to get one this week has abated.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

GPS...less than $200 if possible. Any recommendations?

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

OK, taking the firmware plunge...

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The Safari randomly crashing issue still isn't fixed for me, which is a bit annoying.

Hmm... Not happy to hear that, Kev. Hasn't crashed on me yet, but I'm sure I'll put it through its paces.

brillig

so, the Firefox thing. Other than sticking it to the Microsoft man, why should I use it? I'm currently on IE7 on XP.

It worked without a hitch! My music is syncing now.

Safari is the only browser on the iPhone.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I find pretty much all Microsoft Software to be cluttered and things hard to find, but YMMV. I originally got it because I like tabs, but I think Explorer may do that now. Beyond that, I can't comment too far, because I'm on OSX.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Because it's smoother and quicker and has loads of add-ons and themes and customization if you want.

On occasion, however, you run into sites that were specifically made for IE that MS has not allowed Firefox access to.

Those pages are few and far between, and I'm finding them less all of the time.
