One useful thing about Android phones is they're so easy to unlock. I have a G1 that has an aftermarket ROM with tethering, among many other bells and whistles.

I see it all the time in my business. Guys I know who are my age who have resisted the move away from tape to digital audio were swept away and are no longer working. I'm *so* glad I've always been something of a gadget freak and have embraced all-things-computer. Randy |
