	OK, I get credit for this, but, how about a HUD that projects your cellphone display onto the windshield so you don't have to, "take your eyes off the road". __________________ If the speed of light hasn't changed, why is it getting dark later?

	szwasta, While I can't speak for the "typical teenager", my teenage daughter broke the 8,100 message mark the first month she had a cell phone with a qwerty keyboard... ================================================ Just my $0.02... (and $575 phone bill!!!)
