Can I write efficiently on my 8125

Can I write efficiently on my 8125? That's what this post is intended to find out. I am using the Transcriber functionality built into Windows Mobile. I had to go through the alphabet and show it how I write my letters. It seems to handle it alright, thought_ don't think it will replace normal Keyboard use it is kind of interesting /X see how it reads my writing which is sloppy at best. ) did sterl off by editing the post as errors Come up but Shane decided that the best thing to do is just letit go. slhatway we will see just how well this interprets my writing.

I do have to mention how well w,hdows mobile handles spelling erroos. of Course. as Iwrite that a hand. full desi -cide to show up. See ing all these mistakes makes use wonder just how usefull all this is. It is quite fun though... (onqi vs zz precursors poros slice) -> Random Squiggles

eBay crap-fest.

So, I have this laptop that I am looking to find a new home for. this is the type of thing that goes on all the time at eBay, right?

Apparently not, it seems that the hallowed halls of eBay have become a haven for scammers. I have put this laptop up for auction seven times now each time the winning bid has come in from a scammer and eBay has taken down the listing. These people put in last second bids making it damn near impossible to use the function eBay gives you to remove bidders. I grow weary of this re-occurring and am now looking to sell the thing through other means. Craigslist comes to mind as does the paper.

I wonder if all this activity has anything to do with the recent hack of eBay. I sold my X-Box smoothly and without issue a while back and was pleased with the whole operation. Now I have doubts as to whether I'll use eBay ever again. I don't like the idea of putting something up for sale so many times.
