Thank you, and I like to think that we are flexible changing with the times if needed.

Not trying to tell you you're necessarily wrong, but the one thing we do in fact have this side (South Africa), is quite a couple of 'internet access' packages that are included with our cellphone contracts, using, among other things, either our actual cellphone units attached as virtual modems, or else, just their Sim cards in another specific card reader thingy, which then acts as a modem. While this specific discussion isn't really linked to this, it would in fact maybe be a blind-computing thing to discuss the configuration etc. of something like this related to linking the cellphone and the computer together etc. etc. Plus, I see in the latest TopTechTidbits that there's now some software to be installed on various Symbian cellphones which will sort of turn them into eBook readers, including bookmarking features etc., and then it might really be necessary for guys to discuss things like using their computers to firstly, install that software, and then premanipulate the eBook files on their computers before trying to actually transfer them onto the device. Anyway, I'm not a moderator, so this'll be my last word on this topic. Sorry.
