However, I could be wrong. She could have been a prima donna for all I know. I just want to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Hmmm.. Maybe in about 5 or so years, when you have babies and are traveling, I can come back and say,..... "told ya so...." :p:p:p

A few observations upon re-reading:

1. She made a huge mistake in not waiting to write the letter.
2. The comment about putting the kid on the tray tables is excellent poor-taste humor. I'd deck the schmuck that told me to do that to my kid, but at my stage of life the dark humor made me smile.
3. She ran into a bad crew. Luck of the draw.
4. She was unprepared for the trip, and should have sought out more help pre-departure.

I've seen it referred to in multiple reviews as a phone OS for technology geeks. That is a very accurate description, and probably part of the reason I've grown to really like it after using the platform for the last four months.

And after 24 hours on the Nexus One, I'm really loving it more. This device is simply amazing in many ways.

Droid does multi touch and pinch to zoom yet or no?

Yes, with the most recent updates, it is now enabled on multi-touch capable devices.

I agree fully, however this is exactly why I like my palm webos device.

I knows others with it from age 16-60 and it works for all of them, and without any modifications, however I can go put preware on it and really tech geek it out as well. I haven't tried a NexusOne yet, but I'd take the Pre/PrePlus over a Driod anyday PERSONALLY.
Most of that was due to the lack of the pinch to zoom, if it is really enabled in the new 2.1 ^

however palm did good with the setup and sync process, it 'just works'

Completely agree.

Also, traveling in emotional situations (OP mentioned it was an unplanned trip as her father had fallen ill) can make things harder for everyone involved.

Nice. That's cooler than being a character in a Hardy Boys book.

Honestly, it's not. I'm acknowledged in a few books including this one.

BTW, one thing I really like about the Box is the ability to share perspectives and have a good dialogue ... even when we have very different points of view.

I also like the lighter aspects of the banter and fun and games :D

Yep. I've always appreciated how we can strongly disagree on some topics, including things like politics, but still maintain respect for each others' opinions.

I think one of the single biggest debates arose about TX new seatbelt laws that started in 2010.

Those like myself that believe stupid non seatbelt people should be able to weed out the population on their own, and those that think requiring it is best. :p

Why am I looking at Air Moldova timetables?

icurhere2 Feb 24, 2010 3:30 pm

The reason I'm able to post now is my 2009 federal tax return has been e-mailed off; the refund is not great but the torture is over for another year.

It is not the case one has to fly Air Moldova to sample Moldovan wines.
