Apparently there is a Java version of Opera that's designed to run on cell phones: [link]
Dunno how feasible this is....

Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Feh. My phone browser won't load that page either.
That page is incredibly simple. Just text, a text box, button and check box. If your phone won't even load that....
Although that page is actually html inside xml, so maybe it's the xml that's the problem....

That's what I'm wondering. I think I'll try the Opera thing. That just might work.

It's so crazy it just might work!
They'll never expect it!
It's quiet... too quiet...
Sorry - I think my brain needs rebooting.

HA! I am now posting from my phone! The Opera browser works perfectly.

Yay!
ETA: So Sean, does that Opera browser have some server somewhere that compresses web pages before sending it to your phone?

Don't know. It displayed the graphics and everything. And the phone hasn't really had a problem displaying graphics, it just hasn't liked b.org (or Google). It seems like it's just a java program for my phone that can display html or whatever on the phone, much like the java reader for my gmail account.
It was interesting. When I was first setting up the browser after downloading and installing it, it had me create my own private encryption key by randomly pressing numbers or directional keys until it had a long enough key, so that the browsing would be completely secure.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Posting from Kubuntu on the Dell laptop. It's been a learning curve so far--having to re-set my wireless to a WEP key, trying to remember how on earth I managed to get rw permission to an ntfs drive last year using Knoppix, remembering what on earth to install. But even with the minor frustrations so far, it's already a major relief not to be dealing with my super-buggy Windows install. I am still going to install Win2K, I think, on a smaller partition just so I can run Active Sync and iTunes. Though I have found workarounds so far: this [link] for my Pocket PC and a couple standalone programs for putting things on the ipod. But it's definitely a learning curve.

Sean,
I would have told you about Opera. I was so ticked that I couldn't connect to the internet with my Razr and found that Opera browser is the only way.
BTW, have you seen this:
It makes most pages mobile.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Augh. There must be a way to show paragraph marks and the like in Powerpoint, right? It's an Office application. I always forget what the actual function is called, but it's the toggle in word that shows symbols for hard returns, tabs, spaces, etc.
Anyone know how to turn this on in Powerpoint? I can't find it.
