When was your Mac crashing and what kind of Mac? I still can't run Time Machine without my iMac G5 (the model just before they started installing the iSight camera) crashing. I called Apple and had the external drive reformatted to Jurnalled or something. Didn't fix the problem. And now m

Yes, what's that one advertised all the time? It has big buttons and is only a cell phone without all the gimmicks like camera and web access, etc. And they advertise it has plans as low as $9.95/mo. It's called the skipper, or some stupid name like that. I'll have to wait for the commerci

By the way, I just found an add for that cell phone I mentioned in another thread. It is in a Shell time share magazine. It's called the Jitterbug. The cheapest price listed in the add is $10/mo. But it also says call for their lowest price. 1-866-540-0297. I have no affiliation with them.
