Okay, how do the staff know who’s in need of food? My wife says I dress like a tramp sometimes and, thanks to her, my wallet is usually empty (looks back over shoulder). Do I fit the profile of someone in need of food? :)

John, the food bank is staffed when open.

Thanks for the explanation Kevin. Sounds like an excellent way to help the poor. What’s to stop someone who isn’t desperate from going in and taking out food?

from one norwegian to another, iirc its a place for homeless to stop by.

im not sure i understand Kevin’s reason for resetting his expectations when it comes to comparing this phone to the iphone.

is not the iphone a media consumption device first, and “office” devices second?

or is it the “little web” thing? as imo, thats just silly…

I've been playing with the 5800 for about a week. It's got some coolio features and is fairly finger friendly though I wish the screen was capacitive like the iPhone. http://www.last100.com/2008/11/10/ive-been-playing-with-nokias-new-touchscreen-phone-the-5800-xpressmusic-aka-the-tube/

What’s wrong with using a stylus?

Jobs can say whatever he wants. No stylus means no chance for inking and I like my inking. As long as the device allows finger use I don A mind the inclusion of a stylus.

John, it might be called different things in different places and I understand why it sounds like a place to deposit and withdraw food. My bad. We collect non-perishable food items that folks donate. We also receive cases of canned goods through grants andor get to purchase food items at very low costs as a non-profit. In turn, we’re “open for business” a few nights each month. Families in need come on those nights and get a few bags at no charge so that they don’t go hungry. They get to make withdrawals without making deposits. ;)

What’s a food bank? Is it somewhere you deposit food and can withdraw some when you get hungry? Does it stay fresh? I’m not American so I really don’t know what it is.
