I seem to be fighting something off this week, something which is sapping my strength (Kryptonite!) and giving me a heck of a head cold. I apologize for the lack of news. However, this gives me an excuse to catch up on my reading, and to try to get my Hotmail account working again. <sniffle>

Great... DT owns Voicestream here in the US. I have a Voicsestream phone. Part of why I got it is that I can keep on using it while I am in Europe, just by calling them two weeks ahead of time and activating the service.

An aside: I had complained about the way Google formatted news in tables a few weeks ago, and shortly thereafter I received an email from the person who had set up the feed, asking me if I liked the new, table free way he was doing it. I do, very much. And If I could get to my Hotmail account, I'd credit the guy for having had seen what I said and responding so quickly.
