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

With the "can be charged 1000 times" thing, I guess they're assuming that by the time it dies you'll be ready for a new laptop anyway.

So if you charge it almost every day (while using up each charge, I assume) that's three years. (And I bet most people would do a full charge less often.) Not too bad. But I wonder what battery life would be that last year.

Have you guys talked about the Blackberry Storm here yet? Any thoughts or experiences?

My old work-supplied Treo 680 is getting pretty beat-up, and I can switch to any of the BBs or maybe hold out for an iPhone, if it ever gets approved for my work. Is the Storm close enough?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

still no firewire port on the MacBook. Really sad they did away with that.

The Blackberry Storm is seductive to me, but I don't have any applicable experience with it.

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

Are they discontinuing them?

No. It's just that they haven't updated the hardware in 1½ years. I want to buy one to hook up to my TV, but I can't justify paying that much for such an underpowered system.

I'm seriously considering buying a Dell and running windows.
