If Heineken made cordless phones, odds are they would look like this. A veritable Rolls Royce amongst telephones, this device addresses the single most irritating feature of the cordless phones I have owned to date. It is capable of copying directory information from the Outlook directory on the PC, and propagating it around multiple handsets. [...]
Do you know those episodes of Sex and the City where Miranda has Brady, and she’s back with Steve and Steve’s mum moves in with them to Queens, and little by little, Miranda starts to discover that her Mother-in-law is suffering from something untoward (Alzheimer’s)?
