...tinged tunes and loops centered on nothing more than thunderclaps and screeching squawls. The crowd continually surged towards the DJ console, raised above the dancefloor, in droves of sweaty, giddy masses. The bespectacled Tong, not even looking up from the console, coolly mixed and manipulated the music into a mishmash of heavy studded beats and euphoria-inducing grooves...
...That's not at all surprising. Although judo has been part of the Olympics since 1964--nearly 200 countries participate worldwide--in the U.S. it often gets lost in the mishmash of martial-arts schools that teach everything from karate to karaoke.

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...
