Lone Ranger?! was he in a movie, TV series?!

While I work on my ITU Telecom World report project (got lots to sort and write) you can go there to find 4 pages filled with very nice pix of various phones and PDA phones:

That sounded like a cross between Capt. Kirk and Tonto.

I know who’s Capt. Kirk, but Tonto?!

(Hey I was too tired to think a lot and write nice & long sentences)

If you get a chance, please do go! I’m sure we’d all appreciate hearing about your findings

I was a little ironic as you probably guessed

But I was in a hurry and at the same time eager to read something interesting, technologically at least.

Upon a second fly thru, all I could retain was LCD screens with hard glass covering/protection and a tiny business card reader

To tell you the truth, here in Geneva, the ITU Telecom World 2003 exhibition an every-four-years international event that runs just now is 25% smaller than the 1999 one.

Hey I should go there next week, so I could report here about my findings…:)

Yes, there was a database crash last week… Although I thought my account was the only one that was obliterated. Sorry.

Coz this reads like a “Julie and Judie go to New York” article :confused:

(PS: I once was registered using the same handle but couldn’t log in, so I had to recreate it. Was there a user database crash?!)

At the time, we thought it was either an incredibly odd pet for a city dweller to own or it had a part in the play.

Perhaps it was the same lamb that was on Letterman, who knows. I mean, how many diaper wearing lambs on a leash could there possibly be at any given moment in New York?

Judie :0)

Let me guess, were you in the vacinity of B’way and 54th?
That was a skit for the David Letterman show!!! You missed your big chance to be on TV!!

We knew better than to even try to go to any museums…that will be another trip!

I can’t wait to go back – 2.5 days just wasn’t enough. I think you could live in New York your entire life and still not see all of the sights. For those of you that have never been, there are a couple of stereotypes that New York did and didn’t live up to, at least in my eyes.

I’m glad you loved New York. The big challenge here, given the restaurants and everything, is not getting fat and emptying your wallet at the same time. There’s a reason New Yorkers are so arrogant as to call New York “The City”. But yes, we are truly nice people, as long as you don’t bump into us while we’re in a rush. :p

Oh, and by no means have I seen everything, and I’ve lived in the NY metro area all my life. There is no way. A month of non-stop touring might get you around to 30% of the sights and sounds. The museums alone could take you a week or two…

But, if Starbucks uses Italian words, why they do not use metric measurement units?

Probably because they are an American based company that likes to throw around foreign sounding words to help them justify charging $4 for a 20oz latte. :p

The hidden meaning is that after having one, I didn’t need caffeine bad enough to stand in a long line.

Ah, Caffé latte, 0.6 litres, I see…

I was just fine though. I had just finished a venti latte, after all!

What is the hidden meaning of this phrase ?

What do you mean with “twenty milk”?

We just looked through your photos – and we saw the Naked Cowboy! Since we were on Times Square and took a picture of him while he was doing his “thing,” it is very possible that you did see Julie. If you saw Julie, then I wasn’t very far away. Too bad we didn’t get to say “hi”!

Judie :0)

Anyway, I’ve just arrived back home in Manila and after reading your trip report I recommend you also drop by the wonderful Apple Store in SoHo. You can start off by taking the N subway from Bryant Park behind the NY Public Library (a free, open wireless hotspot, btw) to Prince Street and then walking two blocks west to Greene St. Once you’re there, do check out the newly introduced 20 and 40 GB iPods, and more importantly, the new 15″ Aluminum PowerBook that was announced only yesterday. You can also kill an hour by surfing on one of the new PowerMac G5s, and the whole store is a hotspot as well. There’s also a whole shelf of iPod accessories and cases to pore through.

Lastly, here are some of my own photos from my recent Manhattan walkabout: Click
here and here.

Have fun, guys, and enjoy what I think is the greatest city in the world!

Atleast the PC Expo is in a city where there is plenty to do with a lot of newfound free time.

Agreed. Judie & Julie, enjoy New York — the weather was highly cooperative today, and it’s an awesome city. I know, I work in it.

This year’s PC Expo, on the other hand, was a terrible shame. I do remember the good old days… and wrote up a rant on the subject on Pocket PC Thoughts about it. Hopefully next year, but I’m not holding my breath. CeBIT was quite a bit better in comparison, but even it was small.
