True, there is that aspect of it all as well.....I'm still 'getting over' the vast difference in my old CRT displays and my current LCD displays....

Time for me to sign off and get some reading done. Still have 50% left of Chandler but should be able to finish before the discussions start.

Wondering if I'm missing something. Or if I've BEEN missing something. Switching from BlackBerry to a Palm Pre Plus next week, and found this: http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-a...r-ebook-reader

Either it's too good to be true, or I just missed it last time I went looking for ebook reading software on a phone platform. Anyone know which?

To put it rather inelegantly, "huh?". Did I miss a news item somewhere? Did RIM do something (else) stupid?

It would seem we're "flooding" the market ourselves, with a Curve 8330, my Tour and Shel's Storm2 all going on FleaBay...unless anyone here is interested. We take good care of our stuff.

Ohhhh..yeah, that's the reason Chris is ditching them for a Droid X. I can't say politics really had much to do with my own decision, it was pure feminine illogic. See the link in my sig for an explanation, if you're interested

Not necessarily a lawsuit; RIM's strong suit has always been security with its email and messaging, and UAE & Saudi Arabia want a backdoor for "judicial, social and national security concerns".

Seeing how those countries have such respect for their women and religious tolerance, I'm sure they have only altrusitic motives.

By far not the only reason, just the one that sealed the deal; I was already leaning toward something running Android.

It just jumps off the screen at you! Wow!

Thanks Pooh. I had to finish and post for that silly Geoff. Will post the final when I finish the background (which as you can see is just sketched in to work with).
