Fashion houses typically go bust or are taken over when the founder dies or retires.

No.

Chanel, Hilfinger and many more have thrived or even gotten bigger after the death of the founder. Valentino also comes to mind and if I go look at a copy of Vogue I could give you a half a dozen other names.

But I'm not going to do that because I'm not gay. Really.

Honey, come here and tell these guys I'm not gay.

Um, last time I checked Tommy 'Hilfinger' was still kicking. Nothing insanely great, but still running the 'show'...

The SonyEricsson S710a is nice, full Tiger sync and works on the Edge network with Cingular as a reasonably fast bluetooth modem for my Powerbook, no crippled BT features. I wish it did not have a camera but just try to get a phone with those other features w/o a camera. I use it with BluePhone elite for proximity and CID links to the laptop. Quite sweet, I suffered for ages with Verizon's crappy phone selection to take advantage of their superior network but now that Cingular is getting it together networkwise it was time to switch. All the phone tech's I spoke to agree that SE is the most compatible with the Mac platform, and the build quality on the S710 is superb.

The cheese Homer ate with lightly oiled pasta while writing.

I like to pretend I'm worthy of aligning myself with the epic writers.
