Treo 600
I’m actually kind of surprised that I haven’t seen more people drooling over this phone. Ernie are you listening?! I currently use the no-longer-available Treo 180 (the black and white version) with T-Mobile.

Free advice to the candidates: cash your checks
I won’t name names (why would I want to do that?!) but I have it on good authority from two sources that a certain top-tier Democratic candidate (no, not Governor Dean) hasn’t cashed checks from at least six weeks ago from multiple donors. These donors gave on different occasions. Yet none has received an acknowledgement…
