I bought one of those and I thought it was a useless piece of crap. Never worked right. Maybe that's because I have a case on my phone. I suggest staying away from the Crabble.

Ha - thanks I'm a big-time Douglas Adams fan (obviously) :)

$238 for a monitor arm? No thanks.

It's not the server you have to worry about, it's the cook. I've been a server and a cook at a high volume restaurant and trust me, the pressure of cooking during a rush is enormous. It doesn't take much to set off some cooks no matter how nice you talk to the server.

LOL - my wife too, but I'm over 40 so I think I'll be ok.

Can we get a free game at Redbox with this? :)

Once it's in dropbox, it's easily accessible on the iphone via various iphone keepass apps.

FreeNAS plus: an XBMC Xbox in one room and an Xbox 360 in the other. Also, 8Player app for my ipads and iphones.
