Jim Bauer I use my laptop. The only thing I use my cell phone for is texting and making calls, and taking pictures or video. Other than that, the screen is too small, and just couldn't think to do bigger things on it. That would drive me nuts and give me a major...

snowy @snowy22315 (211897) • United States 19 Jul
