I've seen burn in on more recent monitors

Including an LCD attached to a server that had the Win 2000 locked dialogue burned into it

imitation Toblerone

M&S used to do a mountain bar, which was actually better than the Toblerone

I'd consider getting this next upgrade

I use a Note now. The simple reason why is my eyesight has deteriorated markedly. it was never great to start off with, but now I have keratoconus, myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. I loved the sharp screen on my old HTC Desire (though it had a crap allocation of space for apps) but it got to the stage that I couldn't read it

So yeah. I'd looked at this in the shops, and as a device that's a phone and hovering near the 7" tablets I could see others, with better eyesight, liking it. To be honest, I use email, text and browsing with my phone far more often that I use it for calls. I can't be the only one that does that

I wouldbe wary of accpting LewisPage's word on the sun rising

especially in a field where he is a politically motivated amateur

In the field he IS supposed to know something about, Defence, he has been slavering and joyously promoting US kit that doesn't work and seems unlikely to see service

Not sure where "The Firm" picked up that song

But a guy called Laurie Pay had been singing it for years in the science fiction fan circuit, though the tune boure more resemblance to the "Music Man" and it started "I am the Star Trek man, I come from down the way, and I can play!"

The audience would respond "hat can you play" and then he'd say something like "I can play McCoy" and the verses were exactly the same as those used in "The Firm"'s offering.

I'll give them the "Star Trekkin across the Universe", that was theirs

There's a plug in for Thunderbird called Lightning, that might be seen as vaguely computery

see above

My wife just got an Asha 201

Because she likes a physical keyboard, finds the touchcreen HTC Desire I palmed off on to her getting a bit tiny for her eyes and a hassle to use, and she doesn't have the finances or life to justify being wired 24/7.

The Asha has a nice clear screen, she can get a twitter feed through it and the keyboard works.

And it's cheap
