It's pretty sweet if your a old AOL user, but wickedly expensive. I use it to write simple (can't spell check or html format) emails and do a ton of instant messaging. Its better for instant messaging then my Treo, since the keys are bigger and the connection is presistent. The battery lasts forever, and the pager network coverage is very good. A great thing for bus/car IM communication. The AOL MC is pretty small, plus built like a tank (well, aganst coffee and soda).
While that deal for a sidekick looks good, as does the sidekick, the thing looks too big, and expensive for my tastes.
I worked at a high school, and my boss subscribed to this attitude. he aways said that "Gartner says we shouldn't support more then one platform."
I wish he would give me some evidence of this. Never mind he would usually say.
He was never fazed by the fact that our brand new Dells wouldn't outlast the old Apple G3's he was purging. oh well...
I'm here at UIUC, and its a bitch, but its free, so we can't complain that much.
But its different then Cornell; its 600-700 mbs per 24 hour period. but when you get hit with the limit, nothing works. your connection is useless, AIM, web, even on-campus stuff. Which really sucks when you actually have to do work.
You can defeat this, without the aforementioned system (I wanted to build the same system). If you do a DCHP release, you get a new IP, and a new total. So then they'll let you actually get some work done.
Hey, I got Mac OS 9 running on my original PowerMac 6100/66. Most of the time I got a G3 accelerator in there, but it still runs with out it. I've been saving up for that 21" flat panel sence 1996.

As far as their concerned, it never existed.
