Hi,
My son's almost 3 year old Latitude has developed a flicker which makes it
only marginally usable.
In case this was due to a software problem (although most likely not, as I

There has been much talk about the Iphone coming onto the Verizon
network, but with the introduction of the Ipad and it's being tied
into the ATT network it looks like a dead issue.
I don't want to get into an argument over Verizon/ATT but opening it
up to more networks seems to be the key.
I read that Apple had talks with ATT and with Verizon, but ATT out bid

can't get them the market share they want. So I think it is a matter of
when, not if.
Thank you,

IIRC, the line terminator for text files on Apple computers used to be

On unix, it has always been a line feed. I wonder what it is, now
