My first was a car phone that (and this was very clever at the time) could be unclipped in just 5 careful moves and taken outside and used until the massive battery pack ran out some 30 minutes later. In those days, real mobile users' arms tended to look like Arnie's, I seem to recall. My last was a Nokia 6300. The closest it ever got to being smart was hiding from me - something it did with alarming regularity, most likely because it was afraid I would drop it yet again. So to my new Samsung. I have nothing to compare it with...

Do web surfers really bookmark websites anymore? A good friend and very successful marketer online recently said to me, "Ron, bookmarks are a complete waste of time." It was said so matter-of-factly, that we were off onto some other topic in the next breathe.
