I think costs were about $500, but would probably be under $300
I've had one in my car for the past couple months, and it's been constant, roving Wifi.
Don't take the Sprint cards to Canada though, $5k in one month roaming fees isn't fun ;)

Comment Downside to new Exchange support. (Score 1) 276

I have upgraded my machines to Snow Leopard, excited to use the Exchange support.
Only to find out it only works for Exchange 2007!
So, to move my clients off Windows/Outlook|Mac/Entourage I have to upgrade my Microsoft Exchange server to 2007?

That's not really helping *me*, Apple...

OTOH; I love getting disk space back from an upgrade - Mac Air 64GB SSD users rejoice. AND I love Apple's family pack pricing for my home Mac's. Also, WTF dropping Power PC support this soon?

I once tasted a tender elk cut in the foothills of Denver, Colorado (I'm from Antigua). It wasn't unlike the early production runs of the SNES, but it was rather sticky between the teeth. I'm not sure where things ended up between the two partners, but I know this: It was delicious.

I thought MMORPG's failed due to Darwinian evolution of their players and (lack of) offspring? Oh, maybe I'm a few years early. Sounds awesome, I pre-ordered like 50 copies and will play them all at once until I win and stuff. Plus I'll get the super platinum monthly and farm out some, but not most!, of the play to India. The MMORPG is dead, Long live the MMORPG! PS, GFYS

Journal Journal: /. problem seems fixed (Firefox 1.0.2)

Thanks for that reply, however it didn't work, I've just lived with it, and eventually found out that if you do the resize font (either CTRL+mouse wheel, or CTRL+ +/-) it would fix it, however since upgrading to Firefox 1.0.2 I haven't had this problem...

Journal Journal: what is wrong with slashdot in firefox lately?? 1

Almost 1/3 of all pages load with wacked formatting. Usually the main body of the page is aligned to the very left mixed with the menu's, the other thing that happens often is the page loads with no main body content. I'm on Firefox 1.0PR, and it's done it since I upgraded a few weeks ago... anyone else having this? It does it on my home and work computer, both FF 1.0PR with similar plugins/javascript settings.... I'm stumped

Journal Journal: T-Mobile is pissing me off.

I've been using T-mobile for 2 years now with nary a problem. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes on hold, never had a problem unlocking a phone, etc etc. So it was surprising when I found an extra $400 charge on my bill. You see, my phone died in early August, so I ordered a replacement (a SE T610.) I got a real good deal on it too, only $50 and I wasn't going to need any rebates to get that price either. I was talking to the CSR (actually customer retention) and mentioned that the
