...Got on through the cellphone and rediscovered why I don't like big photos.)

LOL! Then just show us the small ones!!

I had a raging migraine earlier, so I went to bed and slept for two hours. I couldn't read, couldn't watch TV and darn sure couldn't FReep!

I know what you mean about the "wet" and the "dry" rain. Here, we'll get storms that may last off and on for most of a day or two, but the humidity is still in the 30's. ;o])

Wrong direction. Clicking to a thread with HUGE (megabyte) photos means you get to wait... and wait... and wait... (go off and throw something on the BBQ) and wait... and wait... (go off and eat it) and wait... and wait.. *\:-|

Took hours, but we're back online.

Massive frustration trying to get on through Motorola cellphone. They make great "radios" (including cellphone radio elements), but their cellphone software is IMHO at best marginally acceptable, and their BVRP computer software to work with the cellphone is clearly driven by marketeers: lots of pictures of obnoxious "hip" children, but the software itself fails far more than it works. C**pware.

My next cellphone will NOT likely be from Motorola. Not sure it'll even be from T-Mobile, though they get a *few* things exactly right for me where most of their competition don't. I just ran across a features/cost/benefit spreadsheet we did a couple years back, the last turning point, and in about a year we'll re-address it. Overall I've liked T-Mobile (since about '98, VoiceStream) despite their poor non-urban coverage. But their policies are becoming increasingly less and less "loyal-customer" friendly and increasingly cheap.

Maybe the best policy is to let the latest two-year signup run out (REALLY easy with T-Mobile's aggressive upgrade policies!), and then try the (next? or new?) best.

In any event, Motorola BVRP wasn't able to reconnect with the cellphone, so I was offline until my DSL provider fixed things. Kudos to Centurytel: better service than my employer supplies, in turn far better than Motorola/T-Mobile.
