Painless, and now I get offered TV shows.
Dear God... What a dark and stony valley.
At least they have Shaun the Sheep.

As fate would have it, I find I need to send an iCard today. Which, of

So I created a MobileMe account and can now finally access it from
the web, and can access my iDisk and so on, but I've no idea what
I'm supposed to do to Mail.  It says on the MobileMe Mac Setup web page

Was out at lunch to get cash. Dandered [1] into a Carphone Warehouse.
"Have you any iPhone's left?", I asked, "Or are you all sold out?"

One thing I notice that is so so so slow compared with PCs, is that when
I go to print documents, the lag before the print dialogue box comes up
