So it really is a great big ol' iPod! -- dvus

Newton was a better computer > than Maxipad! Lar, boy, you really have issues, doncha?!? Look, we all sympathise with you. Just because you shorted AAPL four years ago, it *really* is time to "let go". It's Spring. Leave the Waffle House. Open the door and walk down a lane in a local park. Take a deep breath and relax. Life is good! As Telly S would say: "Who loves ya, baby?"
