    FWIW, I would never trust any 1st generation/iteration of Microsoft software. Remember Windows 95? NT 3? Ugg. I have a sinking feeling that this MS Smartphone has the same destiny...

    Besides... who wants some script kiddie hacking into their phone and delivering an Outlook virus? ;-)

    I can see it now...

    Sporange almost rhymes.

    Silver, purple, and month remain intractable problems for poets.

    But if you're rapping about cellphones, you have far more serious problems. Like an income.
