There are Droids with actual keyboards. Nothing wrong with a Blackberry, not much good about an I Phone.

I am not an I-anything fan. I don't like their business model and their approach to equipment. Is their stuff good, sure. Is it worth the difference in price, no. I was looking at tablets the other day and Apple products were at least $200.00 more than droid versions.

Trout is conducting an intellectual discussion on grammar. How many days till April?

:rolleyes: Ok Jeff. How many days UNTIL April?

February for me. And, just for the record, I was an English major for my 5 minute collegiate career.

January, if you want to count when meetings start.
