I understood his use of "Blackberry" tb a generic for any email device. Driving the Atlantic City Expressway last summer, some guy in a Jeep Cherokee almost nailed me. I was crusing the right lane, he was next to me in the middle lane. Just started coming over....I took to the shoulder, but just a quick glance told me that he was holding a cell phone in one hand and dialing with the other. Couldn't have been more than a tenth of a second that I took to look at him....but it was easy to see. If he was doing email on a Blackberry-type thumbpad I think it would have been equally obvious if his hands were in view. -- PeteCresswell
