So you did see Eck boot the DP ball in the top of the ninth last night that gave the Dodgers one more chance to catch your beloved Cards? I would have text messaged you for sure if I had your number!
The famous iPod music players will soon be history?
or as much as the nats overpayed for guzman?
4 mil/yr?!
the guy's already lost at least one game because of his defense.

Am I the only person in the world who would prefer one high-quality electronic device per function than two or three crappy combo devices?
Take camera phones: I have one because the phone was on sale, and cool, and my favorite design, although I had just made fun of people who have camera phones. But it takes sucky pictures with no exposure, and if I want to get decent photos, I have to buy a real camera anyway. I'd rather not pay the extra $50 now, and save it up to buy a "real" camera/phone/mp3 player later.
Maybe I'm just bitter because I was just looking up cable internet and was shocked at the $60/month pricetag. They try to sweeten the deal with "free webpages! seven emails!" etc., etc., but I'd rather do away with all that and just pay $40 instead.
Same problem when I was looking for PDAs. I wanted WiFi. I wanted space. I did NOT want an MP3 player. I already have an iPod. Why pay another $50 for a sucky feature?
Bottom line: no more stupid add-ons. Just lower the prices on everything.

Originally posted by ggwâ?¢:Double Amen. And I do…one PDA, one phone, one ipod, one dig camera. Granted, I think it's easier for chicks – I can carry a purse and just throw it all in…

SBC DSL is $20 a month (1.5 MB), $30 for 3 MB. I'm sure Verizon has something close to that.
Does Starpower still exist out there?

5mb down, 2mb up
Free Install
Free D-Link wireless router
$39.99 / month
i fried my D-link router playing games, so i no longer like them
No gaming for me….all i need it Internet, e-mail, remote desktop and vpn access to clients. D-link and Fios it the bill.
Pretty much all of the sub-$100 soho routers suck for one reason or another.
