AT&T offering free trade of a 3200, 3100, or Siemens C56 for your 3650

I just received a snail-mail from AT&T about trading in my 3650 for FREE in exchange for a Nokia 3200, a Nokia 3100, or a Siemens C56, so that I can “take advantage of our network enhancements.” The letter goes on to point out:

Getting Share2Blue2th to work with non-3650 phones…

Hello, everyone. I’ve been receiving lots of emails recently asking how to make my Share2Blue2th scripts work with phones other than the 3650. I must point out that I myself, only owning a 3650, have never used my scripts with any other phone. That being said, I have seen mention on different [...]

TaxCut 2003…

Just a quick mention: I used H&R Block’s TaxCut Premium to file my federal and state taxes this year. Everything is e-filed and I just received my confirmation today. I opted to avoid Quicken’s offerings this year, due to the spyware concerns that have floated around their products. For the most part [...]

I’ve had this occur several times as of late, and it always seems to happen when I switch locations and then plug an ethernet cable into my 12-inch. As soon as the ethernet cable clicks in, the kernel [...]

Interesting little tidbit over at /. about:
new technology developed by NEC and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology, that lets people use their cellular phones with cameras as scanners. It says all you have to do is move your phone over the surface of the piece of paper while recording a movie, and the [...]

NeoOffice®/J 0.8.1 released…

As this is still a prototyping project, [...]

384 MB

I just wanted to note what a difference 128MB of RAM makes on the 1Ghz 12-inch. When Kristin bought me this machine, I decided to leave her with the 512MB chip in my old Powerbook, keeping her maxed at 640MB, rather than downgrading her to 256MB and upgrading myself to 768MB, because mine is [...]
