   I guess that's a good enough reason. Though, as much as I am   
   into technology, I've just never understood this "mobile"   
   all-in-one craze.   
      
   If I want to call someone, I want a phone.   
   If I want to take a picture, I want a camera.   
   If I want to listen to music, I want a stereo.   
   If I want to watch a movie, I want a television.   
   If I want to work a spread sheet, I want a computer.   
      
   Sure, a "smart" phone can do all these, but it can't do   
   any of them well. At all.   
      
   I guess maybe I'm getting old.   
      
      
   > google groups used to be perfect for me until they "upgraded" it.   
      
   And it's unlikely to ever get fixed. Unless I've missed   
   something, I don't think groups is a money maker.
