    I have a Blackberry. And an iPhone. And a Thinkpad. And a Vodafone mobile laptop card thing. And one of those annoying mobile laptop printer things. And a stupid SecurID tag for systems access.

    Anyway, long story short: I have to carry it all around all day, and it sucks.

    Think of all those countless "productive" hours spent in the internet cafe slurping on your cappuccino with extra sprinkles. ;)
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Inactive - do you have a partner? And are they just as boring as your gadgets?

    I treat my OH like my gadgets - make them the best possible thing to have! :D

    Eww, no. Straight to the office, hot water with lemon. :)

    I'm one of those people they like to work all the time, so when we had a recent travel ban to meet the end of year budgets, I got to sit at home or in nearby branches doing my work on the laptop.

    It was... great.

    Awesome! Tell you what, you do all the work with it as well, yeah?

    And I'll just take the salary payments.

    I've got an iPhone 3G. I've dropped it quite a few times and it's still working fine. I don't know how I'm so careless with such a beautiful device. :p

    I also own an iPhone and would recommend one to almost anyone (as long as you jailbreak it) :)
