An "All Thumbs"Mobile Commute- "Strangers On A J Train"

I don't mind being an "All Thumbs" person. In this day & age, the thumb has become more than a grip, for it can be used in writing documents & e-mails:

I don't feel like carrying 15 LBS of equipment on me, as it is inconvenient and bulky. A 5.25 OZ PALM T/X & a Motorola RAZR V3, with Bluetooth & Wi-Fi, weighing 3.4 OZ, can do what a notebook computer does, without all of the problem and added weight of all that bulk in regards to the laptop computer, which more-often than not, cn replace a bulky desktop. An associate of mine, uses a G3 Apple iBook, which replaced an old computer running Windows 98. There's a lot more room in his den, and fewer wires, with the iBook;

On my commute this morning, I was riding next to a woman, who was using a T-Mobile Sidekick III. It's a nice data device, now with Bluetooth and, according to this woman, is all she needs, to take care of basic tasks like e-mail, calculations, and text messaging, in a lightweight package. This made for a pleasant commute;

& to think that all thumbs is now a sign of communication, is amazing. What a time of change & how we adapt is amazing. & that we can do, in a period of years, go to do more for less bulk, hence less can do more;

Thanks, Arlene for sharing the commute with me;
