Carl-E:
I'm using a severely out-of-date Palm Treo. Got it used about 7 years ago. I love it, but it's no longer a smart-enough phone - the web browser (Blazer?) is so out of date it can't display most pages, so I wound up cancelling my data plan. So it' really just for phone, text and low-res pics.
I think I need a new phone, but part of me says I shouldn't ditch this one until it dies. Which should be any day now. At least, that's what I've been saying for the last three years or so...
Carl-E:
Coomic's UUUUUUP!
So's the sword....
But did she hit the orange? Is it neatly sliced in two halves on the floor?
Skewbrow:
My phone is a Nokia N96 from 2008. It has GPS and Navteq map/streetfinder software, which has helped when my work has taken me to cities I'm not familiar with (Dublin, Ireland and Bergen, Norway quickly come to mind). Even when I was drunk I was able to get back to the hotel/B&B in Dublin. I have read QC (even the forum) with its browser, but would not consider using it for reading e-mail or heavy duty browsing (Symbian is not a nice OS for some things). 99% of my use is texting, calling and GPS-tracking or taking pics (the camera is ok and easy to use). It has DVB-H capability so I checked out the available TV-broadcasts. Can't say that I enjoyed watching TV on a 3½ inch screen (or thereabouts). Many others must have felt the same way as the operator has discontinued that service.
In these parts we had a saying (at least before Nokia started downsizing) that if you drop an iPhone on the floor, the iPhone is broken, but if you drop a Nokia phone on the floor, the floor is broken. Scratch that. Three months ago I rode my bike from work and it started pouring just before I made it home. I asked my kid where Mom is, he replied that she's gone to a nearby farm to pick some rasberries. I realized that it is my conjugal duty to save the little woman from the rain, so I quickly dumped my backpack, reached for the car keys, and decided to take a leak before I go. In the bathroom I heard a splash. Drat. My belt pouch was open, and the phone had dropped into the toilet bowl. Thankfully I realized what had happened before I started ... streaming. I let out a few words unsuitable for polite company, picked up the phone, took out the battery, rinsed the leather case & dried it the best I could. At that time the phone had been acting up and draining its battery at a disturbing rate. But after drying out overnight it worked fine, and the battery problem disappered! Why did I tell you to "scratch that"? The toilet bowl was not broken!

Looks like the force is not with Sam. At least not yet.
St.Clair:
Very, very poor technique. Not only does she not keep her eyes on the target, she doesn't even keep her grip on the handle.
Somebody:
Faye's very, very lucky.
Also, with that swing arc from that position, how'd the sword end up at THAT angle?
