BlackBerry(ies) can be either a phenomenal connected device or possibly an anchor to misery. Hats off to you - leaving a job is never easy. Possibly, it's just that we get accustomed to places that we go to everyday. All in all, everything is easier in retrospect and it's good that we move towards what makes one happy. Simple yet so complex. Well, if things are easy, where would all the fun go... Halsted, you’ve always been so eloquent in your descriptions – ironic how we are with gadgets.

You are literally outside the proverbial box (or cube) they are always yammering about and you're nostalgic? This is like a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome! Be free little black swan! Damn the man! Sorry, I have to go now. I have use cases, a PDD, and a PRF to file.

By the way, I ended up with a Blackberry, primarily because while I already resent the 24/7 nature of the job, being able to respond to stuff quickly generally results in fewer "peak stress" moments. Also, for reasons that are unclear, since switching to it, people IM me less. But man, when I leave this job, me and the iPhone are gonna have some good times. Bonne chance, Cygnoir!
