We get them because they are free with our service for the sales people and directors.

I have an iPhone and so does the CEO, President, and Senior VP of the company.......
So Steve are you also saying I made a bad choice in getting BB's?

weird stuff, no ring, can't make a call, screen freezes, long delayed reactions, no mail, it can vary by model.

Evening guys.

Did not want to start anything Troy with the Dodge truck, but may be a good deal.

I am thinking on going to that auction. Heck, I also have an extra loader around. As Arsenio Hall said " Things that make you go hmm".

Laugh at that truck with loader, but I wish I had it when my Bobcat gelled and I had to use the 3020 without a cab to plow snow.

I would hate to get rear ended by him, but he would be handy to change a tire.

Thanks for the tip on the cookie cleaner Steve. Between that and my new anti virus my computer is twice as fast. I am running a Verizon air card for all my internet, can not get high speed where I live accept for satelite, so every little bit helps.

Glad I could help, are you using the Verizon 3g wireless network?

Yeah Steve, 3G, downloads at about 80-100 kb/sec now. Before the new antivirus and a new air card it was 8kb.sec at times.
