The file the Tagline was in is on the XP box.
This cellphone is my only Internet connection.

The Semicolon in the middle of that line was placed there by whoever wrote the
Tagline.
I entered it by hand on this virtual keyboard.
What I thought was cute about the phrase was the 3 ways the word  "it" was used
in it.

It, it's, its.
