...buzz has it that universal key card access for Quincy is in the works. What they tell you: "This way, when you're studying with your friends in Quincy, you don't have to call on the outdoor phone to be let in." What they really mean: "With your new, improved, universal slidey card, avoid all the embarassment of waiting outside for a late-night rendezvous with your Quincy House hookup pal."

Others prefer to make computer-to-telephone calls using Web services like IDT's Net2Phone that patch them through to any phone in the world for about 10[cents] a minute. I've been holding out for a gadget that will let me make long-distance Internet calls without using my PC at all. That's where the Aplio (pronounced ah-plee-oh) fits...
