This sounds great and would tempt me to stick with HTC rather than getting a Galaxy S2, ifandwhen they are available stateside. But something tells me that AT&T will find a way to mess this up.

Oh, dear Lord. It finally happened. I've been waiting years for this opportunity, after all the taunting from Mac users.

Amen!

Some species of slugs are pests because they're herbivores and like to eat the gardens we silly humans prepare for them.

Where I live, "deep roots" are not possible. I've got about 6 inches of sod, soil and clay before I hit solid rock. Well, fairly solid rock. Water doesn't penetrate here, it runs off; if it rains, we will get flood warnings.

I believe the answer to your question is a resounding, "Yes."

I don't like absolute generalizations, like "everybody." I wouldn't be "miserable" with an iPhone, but that doesn't mean I'd be happy.

Apparently, the "pro" version of the software enables you to open tabs in new windows. However, it's the "pay" version, which is $25.

You could always check the Lenovo site. I just checked and the T520 (15.6" model) has two options for SSDs - 128GB and 160GB.

You might be securing things in the hitch, but you're not really hiding them. Anyone who sees the tumblers in a hitch will know that something is locked in there, and first guess will be that it's a spare key to the vehicle.

Aldiko is a nice ebook reader. But Google Reader is an RSS reader, not to be confused with "Google Books."

I worked with a professor who told his students that he got a lot of email and if it was important, then they should use creative subject lines to get his attention.

It is undoubtedly true that it would take very little effort on my part to actually find a plastic card of some type. I've got a gift card for a local restaurant that would serve the purpose well after we use it.

Most of the ones I get these days are card stock, not plastic. I must not rate the more expensive solicitations.

I tried reclining my chair at work. Unfortunately, I don't have the mass to make it work. I slide right out of the chair. Not enough friction between the seat of the chair and the seat of my pants.
