12/11   What are some cheap wireless plans you can buy where you can
        get the sim-card and stick it into any device of your choice?
        \_ Any plan which uses a SIM. I have used my AT&T SIM in a
           Blackberry, two different iPhones, and even an old Razr. I
           assume you mean domestic use only.

10/12   The wife lost her ATT+T  dcell while here in NYC . There seems to
         be no fraud activity yet. We were just  wonderingf its actually
        possible to get a location trace done like the so on TV?
        \_ For AT&T... pretty much no unless you are law enforcement
           with a subpeona.  If you had Sprint you could just use our
           handly little product!  http://sfl.sprintpcs.com and locate it

        you deal with it? I'm paying 10 cents/message. Spammers
        need to die.
        \_ With Sprint the nice lady offered to block text messages, so I did

4/22    Does anyone here in CA have either T-Mobile or Cingular GSM service?
        If so, could you tell me where you are and how good the coverage
        is there? Thanks. - ciyer
        \_ Used to have sprint, switch to cingular.  Sprint calls felt less
           staticy, and Cingular sold me a phone that died just days after
           the warrantee expired.

8/5     Why is Mac OS 10.6 $29 and 10.5.6 $129? Is it a typo?

        VMs, and been asked why it's necessary. We've suggested top-of-the-line

12/3    Are any of you CSUA alums working at Intel?  Is it possible that we
        might be able to hit Intel up for donated/partially donated (reduced
        price) Core i7 Xeons when they come out?  Who would be a good person
        to contact about something like that?  We're of course willing to put
        out for them - perhaps we'll tattoo an Intel logo on toulouse if that's
        what they want :-p  -- steven
