Is it one of those PDAs whose Shift key is particularly hard to get to?

[MRT144]

no it has a keypad built into it. I think I just had a typo I overlooked.

I hate seattle though. its so ****ing lonely up here. I only really have one friend and he has gf now. so right now I'm posting from a bus stio and sobbing because of how lonely I am. I went to a club tonight and I still felt like an outcast. seattle is the lonliest city in america

What happened to the new suit and the chatting-up of chicks during the lunch-hour, MRT?

Thanks to work

I have been on an electronic leash for years. The only time I am free is when I am on an airplane. However, many international flights now have internet access thanks to a relatively new Boeing service (which I last used on an Airbus plane, funnily enough).

I've been having tons of fun with my new EVDO-capable phone. I use it to transmit GPS signals to my anxious/curious mother back home as I drive across the country. I also use it for my own mapping/route planning fun, such as locating upcoming gas stations/rest stops/restaurants. Also heavily utilizing Satellite Radio in my car.

Purchasing lots of new home theatre stuff for the new place, and a cool air ionizer/purifier.

Technology rules.

what exactly does all this technology do for you?

I'm not anti-technology by any means. But I only use the tech that I find useful in my life. For instance, I still don't have a DVR. I have no use for one. I don't watch enough tv to care about commercials. And VCR's can still fast forward through them. It just requires a little more effort.

T -Vo/Moxi (digital tv recorder)

thought I would never use it, Now I cant live without it

I work nights and the programs I miss are day time

it cuts down on the amount of time i use the net at work and home. it helps me stay on top of my monthly budget. i dont use the phone as much as i use the data processing/downloading features. I have free data download, unlimited texting and nights starting at 7 for 50 a month
