...another dumb thing: my phone's e-mail address is a user-contemptuous mishmash of 48 alphanumeric characters. I figured I'd cure this by spending $129 more to buy the Data Connectivity Kit and do e-mail off-line, through my laptop. But when I tried to set the thing up, there was nothing in the documents explaining how. Worse, when I called Motorola's toll-free help line, I was assured by two separate reps that the phone could be used only for faxing; e-mail and Web browsing could not be done via a laptop-phone connection...

DEAR LEFT: Getting involved with a married man who has had "affairs to fill in the empty spots" is just plain dumb. Thinking he will be faithful to you is dumber. Therefore, I have the dumbest book to recommend: How to Survive Your Boyfriend's Divorce, by Robyn Todd and Lesley Dormen.
