    So What About That Re-org?

    Not quite the same now, is it? It's an equally valid response, but the only thing to learn now is that I've replied. Now it's not so obvious that I saw the sarcasm and responded in more detail. People can still read your quote, however; so the deletion has not damaged the thread. I would ask...

    new X3 case

    That new logo of theirs is one of the greatest I've ever seen, and it absolutely adds a finishing touch to that case. Good job! :)

    New Surface today or Andromeda tomorrow...

    When the Surface "Phone" is available for pre-order, I'll be first in line. I already have a Surface Pro 4, and it's great for the purpose for which it was designed. That said, I just picked up a Thinkpad 25 for more serious mobile and docked use. There's cash set aside for the next...

    You've hit the nail on the head. This nation is quite unique, in that regard.

    Idea's I wish Microsoft would steal

    Most of what I've read here is not only possible in Windows, it was baked-in nearly from the beginning. I think the most important thing Microsoft could do right now, is demand that manufacturers start distributing manuals with computers again. Clearly, people need them. I know three people...

    So What About That Re-org?

    Microsoft didn't miss the mobile boat. They built it. Everyone else in the game was simply along for the ride, but their children simply forgot. As for the restructuring: I have a PC. Well, I have many, but let's keep it simple. I have a PC; a "Personal Computer". If half my stuff is on...

    Heh. I may be whistling in a hurricane, but if I'm to die being the last man on earth holding language together, so be it. I can actually type these posts in adherence to any era of English development. I just keep it modern in general. How I got it working: I opened a post-paid account...

    HP X3 Verizon issues

    My posts are quite short. They're just surrounded by telegraph snippets. I'll keep to the old ways of actually communicating context to validate contention. Everyone else can tap their Morse keys and pass around half a point and misunderstanding. I won't play ball, in that regard. Reading...

    HP X3 Verizon issues

    The last time I had visual voice mail, all it did was show me who called, and selecting an event played the message. It was good enough for me, honestly. If you guys are talking about speech to text "transcription" voice mail, My 928 wasn't doing that with Verizon when it was new, nor was...

    HP X3 Verizon issues

    Yeah, it became obvious after a while that it was just Windows doing it's thing. VoLTE had me confused for a bit, as usually there is an obvious toggle somewhere, but it appears Windows rolls it into a few other things that you want turned on anyway. That's what had me a bit lost, in that...

    SIM doesn't go in!

    I'm glad it worked out. I want to point out that one should be careful inserting the SIM tray on the X3, as it's a bit finicky, and the SIM can rather easily become misaligned and jam the slide. It takes two hands and patience, sometimes. Haven't had mine long, but I always look for that sort...

    I see where you're coming from. Try to think of these posts as letters written specifically to you, and they might be a bit smoother. I tend to compose things with that in mind. Yeah, I tend to use slightly antiquated grammar, and it can be a bit of a shock one the web when someone comes upon...

    HP X3 Verizon issues

    You're not paying attention, and I've been quite clear multiple times. I'm happily using the phone already. I was not asking that question myself in the post you quoted. That was an example of the sort of question nobody will answer when asked in a few months. Please attempt to understand...

    Importantly, while I can't really post it here, I'll be giving that store many pats on the back. They've really gone out of their way, and are clearly a cut above anyone else in the area; or anywhere, for that matter. Very impressed. I'm not going to leave them without a reward in this, I...
