When I was in high school, I worked as a bagger in a supermarket. Before our first day on the job, prospective baggers underwent a one-hour training course on how to bag groceries with a final exam. That was before plastic was invented, so we learned to pack paper bags like building a house – a...

"Can I buy a Verizon compatible SIM for the Smart Phone I already own??" If your current phone is AT&T, it uses GSM technology and a SIM card. Verizon phones use CDMA technology and do not use SIM cards (except their global phones which also contain a GSM section for overseas use)...

I've had mine for about two weeks and haven't used it enough to give a proper evaluation. I have connected to wi-fi at Panera and Chick-Fil-A and checked e-mail, it seems slow but, again, I haven't played with it enough to really judge. I was frustrated this week because I was trying to load...

I plan to buy a Palm TX that is advertised as Wi-Fi enabled. Besides the public library and Starbucks, are there any other hot spots in St. Mary's county? Ed
