But cell phones still use the land line infrastructure. So it is also important to note all the combination of technologies involved in what appears to be a simple "call". For example, you could make a cell phone call at your house, the signal gets sent to a cell tower - but the cell tower is too remote so it is sent over microwave to another cell tower that is hard wired, all which runs through either land line or fiber/other data lines, maybe some more microwave to a switch center to where ever the call is headed back up to a cell tower and maybe through microwave a few more times and out over the airwaves again. Land lines used the same process, just minus the cell towers on either end,... and it would seem adding that last step (plus also the huge amounts of data that is sent now compared to the 3 calls you used to make to your grandma a week) seem to hinder the 99.999999% uptime.

So I think it's good to look at things in perspective.

I guess I'm the only one that finds the term WiBro hilarious?

Mac Support. I just got an iMac (had to for school, Mac Network/servers - also final cut compatibility) and would go out and buy a zune tomorrow if there was native mac support. When my computer dual boots into vista, the 64bit zune software runs like a dream. The way it goes online and gets band pictures is super awesome. Even if the Mac support was limited, like you couldn't sync over wifi, or use some other various features, it would be fine as long as the software would play music and sync in OS X.

"THIS IS MADNESS"

one of the best things about film school are the connections. ususally the professors know people in the industry so it is very easy to get jobs or break in after graduation. it's really not what you know, but who you know.
