You know me (sort of), and I recently had to do this when I was visiting
friends in Castaic (and had to wipe out their computer). I was
attempting to get the train schedule - I could get it, but it was very
hard to read (the schedule is just badly done, no one but the folks at
Metrolink seem to understand it). I use the Internet on my phone to get
phone numbers instead of calling 411 and getting charged some ridiculous
amount. It's not something that I would want to do all the time.


On a brighter note - the boss called me (whilst on vacation) and
announced that everyone was going to be surfing on their phone, and so I
had to do whatever I could to get the site ready for phones. I called
her back in a few minutes and told her it already was. Then I told her
this was one of the reasons I was such a B---H about valid, semantic
code, and NOT opening off site links in new windows. I said "Wha da ya
gonna do, open up a new PHONE?" Smile. Now, I just have to get her
weaned off IE6.
