Every time I show my Blackberry Curve to a Blackberry user they go crazy and want one too. I’m confident that it will become the most popular Blackberry ever. So the question is: when can I buy one? On monday I met someone who had ordered one in the UK and then paid 50 dollars to another company to have the sim lock removed. In the Netherlands you will be able to get one from Vodafone.

Every time we meet he is testing and reconstructing another one. So today he brought a brand new B&O phone for me to play with. I showed him my Blackberry Curve and he looked at it with medical...

The harddisk in my MacBook Pro stopped working last week. It didn’t just stop but got slower every day up to a point where just starting up would take 2 hours. Tessa brought it to the Apple store and even they were impressed! They didn’t see anything like it before. Makes me feel so special…. Yesterday I persuaded Arjen to buy a new MacBook and loan it to me until my MacBook Pro comes back from Apple. He bought the white 60GB version and upgraded it to 2gb internal memory. My MacBook Pro harddisk is 140GB and all my files...
