yet, your own signature indicates that you do 'custom software development based primarily on MS Tools with an emphasis on C# Development and consulting'. as spock would say...fascinating...

Well, I know that Virgin Mobile has fairly cheap ($25 USD) data plans; if all you want is to do Android devleopment, that's the direction I would go. A decent phone is about $250 USD, but you're not locked into that long term contract. IIRC, for $25/month you get unlimited data and 300 minutes of voice. $60 buys you unlimited everything.

I remember when you could take a 386DX40 and swap out the CPU and FPU for a 486DLC2/80 and "487"DLC2/80, which was actually just a clock doubled 387 with a name change. Coupled with 128 KB of 15ns level 2 cache it would beat the pants off any 486DX2/66. or..before that.. swapping out an original 8088 for an NEC V20 or an 8086 for an NEC V30 Chip... __________________ Pour me something and tall and strong...
