    Crackberry.com was prominently mentioned in a story in the december 2007 issue of Laptop magazine...

    under the title "Blackberry Additcts Don't Care...sure they'll admit they have a problem. they just refuse to do something about it." on page 16

    it specifically mentions john klienschmidt "a forums moderator on crackberry..."

    the article is pretty funny to me...it paints a picture of e-mail addiction similar to drug and alcohol addiction...

    I think I once read an article where the Blackberry addiction was taken pretty seriously. People were even considering suing their employers with furnishing them with such addicting devices!

    yes but i also heard there are working on an experimental transplant surgery that will effectively remove the blackberry without loss of life or limb...

    the only adverse side effect is it must be replace with a TREO !!!

    hahahahahahahahaha......

    Can someone scan the article and PM me for a address to send it to? Living in the sticks, I don't have any stores around here that carry that magazine.

    Fyrfyter, if you can pull it off the site, great, PM me if you can. They were supposed to send me a copy of the magazine when it went out to everyone and so far, nothing has shown up in the mail.

    If it doesn't come to me, then I'll PM a address to you daddybear to send it to. My boss wanted to see it since I mentioned my company in it. The interview was done a couple months ago and it lasted a long time.
