the nice thing about the touch is that if you are generally around  
WiFi networks you do not need to pay AT&T for the 3G service which, as  
a monthly fee, adds up to be a bundle for a year.

Recently, I had a very peculiar experience with At&T.  I was making a  
few changes in my account, most prominently upgrading to an unlimited  
voice plan.  Once that was completed, I checked the box on my  
account's web page to turn on international dialing.  I was informed  
that I had to talk to them on the phone at some numbr.  So, I called  
the number on the web site.

When the phone picked up, I was put on hold for about a half hour.   
Then a cranky sounding woman picked up and started interrogating me.   
The oddest thing was that she was asking questions to which she should  
not have the answers: "Where were you living when your Social Security  
card was issued?" "Have you ever worked in Detroit, Troy, NY or Oxford  
Mississippi?" (the answer was none of the above - what's up with the  
trick questions?"  - none of the normal "mother's maiden name, etc.  
this went on for about twenty minutes until the lady told me I could  
make international calls (a requirement for the work I do).

So, if our country has me on a domestic spying list, they have  
assigned some poor intelligence figure to waste a whole lot of time  
reading boring emails and listening to even more boring phone calls.

Happy Hacking,
cdh
