Poor IS Department!

Even though they had replacements coming in (probably at pre-negotiated discounted corporate prices), I bet some IS guy had to run down to the local T-Mobile store and buy a consumer version Curve (at full retail), and then rush to get it setup with the Blackberry server, and then out to FedEx for rush overnight delivery. All because you're a partner. I hope you remember the IS Staff and their rush to replace your Blackberry when it's time to dole out end of year bonuses!

well run IS Dept

A well run IS Dept will always have a spare crackberry on hand. Eric should have been given a choice: want an old beat up spare or want to wait for the cool new device?

iPhone reviving habit

At my first law firm only myself and another young associates
had laptops. The founding partners still took notes and made
drafts of documents on legal pads.

I was attached to my Handspring Visor and a couple later
Palms. But I became fed up by the Tungsten III. It has Wi-Fi,
but only WAP browsing and was useless for the blogging I was
doing then because it could not handle forms.

I have rediscovered my sense of child-like wonder and I am
becoming addicted to my iPhone.

Curious Call-Out

Funny how the editor picked a sentence with an
obvious error for a call-out:

You knew something was extremely urgent when a
legal assistant was seen running run down the hall
yelling, "You have a fax!"
