9/8 "In my career as a writer, I need my phone to do work. I have tight
deadlines, and I need to communicate with lots of people in a
hurry. When I'm in a tight spot, my BlackBerry always helps me
out. It also sends a subtle signal to my correspondents that I'm
getting a lot done. An e-mail that says "Sent from my BlackBerry"
gives the impression that you're on the move but still chained to
work, e-mailing from the elevator. An e-mail that says "Sent from
my iPhone" conjures an image of a doofus who wants you to
know he has an iPhone."
\_ Actually, "Sent from my Blackberry" just tells me you're a self-
absorbed idiot with no technical understanding and you're probably
driving your poor IT support staff nuts with your stupid requests. |
