Thanks, I will have to try that ... but I still need to solve the USB  
port problem. I haven't had the time to get the original disc out and  
run repair/first aid and hopefully bring back the USB ports. Without  
those, I'm stuck - can't upload photos, use the scanner, and other  
peripherals.

Verizon did tell me that the Storm will work with the Mac and I'll be  
able to log on anywhere. Up until now I was stuck with blazing slow  
speed in dialup unless I was at a hotel (not visiting parents) with  
high speed.

For those thinking about getting the Storm - what a disappointment. I  
thought the World Edition Blackberry was the worst they could do. Who  
would have guessed?
