The US does not use Robertson screws (the squares). It's a Canadian invention. They use everything else.

Funny - I have several Robertson drivers . . .

**Goes into his iphone looking for an App to respond to this comment**

Damn it i though there was an App for everything like the commercials say :p

Here - my Nokia has one. Or would you prefer the one on my Windows Mobile?

Here's the Top 50 Canadian inventions. Count how many are important to you :)

Well, off the top of my head, nobody's yet invented an "Anti-gravity Suit". And Alexander Graham Bell was a Scot working in Boston when he invented the telephone, who later moved to Cape Breton Island. The initial patent was in the US as well.

It Just Works with S60 and it's unlocked (which is hard to come by in the States). Plus GPS and free maps along with a couple of good ephemeris programs and a handy pocket planetarium. And I have my library listed in a database on it. N97 FTW. Although when this fades out, I'll probably go Android, like my tablet is.

The anti-gravity suit is used by jet pilots to allow them to withstand high g-forces without blacking out.

Alexander Graham Bell was living in Ontario when he invented the telephone. First long distance phone call was from Brantford to Paris, Ontario.

actually GF has the N97 as well as the iphone... we are trying to sell it as she is no longer using it after she got the iphone :lol: I myself got the cheap Blackberry 8520 which for me is very very good for what I need it to be...

unfortunately I can't use GPS here with Nokia yet, or at least I don't know how to

what do you do with the N97 + S60? :confused:

Wrong. Sorry to burst your bubble. The suit that pilots wear is the "G-suit" not the "Anti-gravity suit", regardless of who invented it. It doesn't eliminate gravity. It reduces upper-torso blood loss due to gravity.

And Alexander Graham Bell was living in Boston, MA, as a teacher of the deaf, when he invented the first telephone. He was working for the Hubbard family, teaching their deaf daughter Mabel (later his wife) to speak at the time.
