I am tired of going to my local provider and being pitched machines that do all sorts of things I don't need or want. I don't need a camera, audio player, web linker, calendar, notepad ... blah blah blah - What I do need a handy...

dlnieto WOW! What a great suggestion. I'm checking into this one. I do like the idea that the pricing is reasonable and if the phone is simple it may just be the one. Thank you.

dlnieto Thank you for the suggestion, I have checked it out and aside from finding it as 'discontinued' it appears to be available from Amazon - now all I have to do is find out if the carrier supports it and will make it work for me. Something I've found out is that...

It seems to me that opining on myLot appears out of place. I can see how posing a question is very MTV-generation and ADHD-oriented, but posing an opinion, elaborating on it and showing the merit of the conclusion seems a lot...

My wife has been a waitress at the same place for about 26 years or more now. We rely solely on the tips she recieves for our bills and to live off of. Now this incident happened recently. She had a table and their bill was a...

dlnieto There is one more type of customer. The customer that doesn't feel they got good service and left a minimal tip and never returned. What makes that a customer of value and one that servers and places of business forget is that sometimes that customer goes...

What comes to my mind, and in truth what has been on my mind for quite a long time is this question of class and class distinction. The question of classes in public transport was emphasized even more than before. In planes, first...

dlnieto Huh? I am so sorry to read that your circle of friends and acquaintances leaves such a dismal outlook. Something to consider: What you send out usually comes back many times over. Perk up and set the tone for those around you.

Not haven written the following, I have a few opinions and wondered what the more thoughtful people here might opine. "I think it's time everyone should just get over 9/11. The only thing we have been doing since that day is...

dlnieto I won't labor the point, but my connection with that event is relevant to me. That relevance is important to me. I do not believe that my imposing that relevance on others is important. Plainly, one's introspection and dealing with that event is private....

dlnieto I was sure someone would find it 'insulting' and or contemptuous to even consider the thought regardless of whether a loved one (or at a minimum someone you knew) was a victim. The issue isn't that at all. The question, ill prepared as it may be, is the...

dlnieto It (the September rememberence events) remind me of a kid picking at a small pox scar periodically. It only makes the scar deeper and its appearance offends a few who see it while making it last a life time. Instead of finding ways to make the scar heal...

I like Firefox, have used it over a year instead of Microtrash IE. Then, along comes Firefox 3.0 and I find that what worked in Firefox 2.0 - no longer works! I ask, "How come?" I was under the mistaken impressions that...

dlnieto In a sense I agree with you, but the HTML is NOT AN ADDON, it's just plain old HTML that Firefox 2 I'm told was interpreting incorrectly and now Firefox 3 is interpreting correctly. With the correct interpreting the result of the HTML is that it doesn't do...

dlnieto Ditto that here. I just wish they'd leave me alone. I get the message about every other day and I wish they'd offer a "NEVER" option to click.

dlnieto No, not really. My HTML works just fine on Opera, IE (which I hate) and Firefox 2.0. When I asked why it doesn't work on Firefox 3 I was informed, and I paraphrasing here, ... "... we were not interpreting the code correctly in FF2, we are interpreting...

dlnieto I agree. Simple is way better. Bloated do everything for everyone 3.0 is just suffering from Microsoft's mentality that it must be improved by making it do more, reference Vista - XP is way better.

The move to create mini-me's named Notebooks is a valid one. However, it seems to me that the manufacturers are missing the market. A Notebook is not a mini-Laptop, hence, it should not be bloated with those things that are in...

dlnieto Biggest problems with the EeePC are: 1. Price 2. Microsoft OS (yes they do offer Linux at $50 less) 3. And it's loaded with useless applications and extra hardware. If ASUS removed Microcrap, extra unneeded hardware, took off the applications and...
