[kwlug disc.] 'Blackberries make you stupid!'

[Unsolicited]

I have long hated the idea of carrying a cell. Hated even more the 
idea of carrying two things. So I get a LifeDrive. Then a cell. Go figure.

I've come to the conclusion, of the devices together: It's a portable 
reference tool, not an input tool, and a pager. Just not all 'pages' 
come in voice. It's for the people I care about to be able to get me. 
Not the other way around. So, call volume out, and particularly data 
volume out, are very low. The trick was to find a provider needing no 
minimum on either.

But sure is nice to order pizza after shopping, and by the time I've 
driven there, it's ready.
