I like him a lot more than most candidates, but that may be because he is a Bears fan. I hope he turns out to be the real deal, and not some throw away candidate like the rest of them from the past decade and a half. And that in a nutshell is whats wrong with the way most people choose to vote. Suc...

CD/DVD Drive mechanical issue
In my PC, I have a DVD R/W drive. I can browse that drive, use the CD thats currently in there, so from that standpoint, it works fine. The trouble is, that when you push the eject button, there sounds like something mechanical that is preventing the drive from opening. I've tried to push a papercli...

Does anyone have this phone, and if so what are your thoughts on it.
I currently use a Blackberry 7290 and while I like the features, I hate the phone itself. It's like holding a peice of toast up to your ear.
