Oh... :-( I had just joined the EVO group... I have a Milestone. And the big
lesson the pilot/treo list taught me was that it is best to keep the list, and
advance the subject. Anyway, will join the Android list too. We'll see.
Glad to be back with (some) of you guys. I miss a lot the knowledge,
wisdom and, mainly, the manners of this group!
Best.
Felipe.
