Usually they're underlined and often in a different color. When you click on them *feces* happens. You're welcome. |

I would say it really surprises me how dense and slow to change big companies are to change, but then I work for one so it's no surprise to me.
I swear Jobs could sell shoes to person with no legs, or life insurance to a corpse.

In retrospect, I caught (drunken) wind of this project in late 2005 from a member of the Cingular secretarial pool, at a cocktail party.
She was basically manic over the revolutionary aspects of the whole innovation thing.
At the time, she even she probably didn't know Apple was involved--

I'm delighted they got the carrier hands out of phone design and feature clamps.
Its a really nice product that was long overdue for the industry (because of carrier ineptitude).
But I still think the at&t deal is too long at 5 years. I foresee a 75% chance of problems between Apple and at&t before year 3 is over.
