Strap the whole phone to your head? LOL Tiger Direct has a 1.99 bluetooth, (after rebate) on sale today. sale ends tomorrow. I bet it is a lot lighter than strapping your phone to your noggin

I had the same issue. I have a Brother 5250DN. I also have an Imac and a PC running Windows XP.
The driver for the mac os will not let you choose your paper with this printer. Brother does not make a software for the mac to let you choose your paper automatically. The same thing if you use Adobe X on windows. The only solution I found was to install my printer and attaching it to my PC only and using Adobe Reader 9.1 or 8. Do not use Adobe X. You can still down load a previous version from the Adobe website.

If there is any truth to the rumor that holding a cell phone

close to your ear might cause brain cancer, then this device looks great for anyone with a
death wish.
My car has a built in bluetooth, that plays through the radio .
Hope that they do not ban even handsfree use of cell phones while driving.

I was going to say the same thing Bob...I was watching

Dr Oz and he had experts on to attesting to the fact that the safest way to talk on a cellphone is through a WIRED headset and the next best is through a bluetooth. The radiation is redirected directly from the brain through the other devices.

Holding the phone directly to your head and carrying it close to the body allows radiation direct access to your body and brain. The experts recommended using the headsets for the safest method of utilizing cellphones.

Many people whine that it's uncomfortable. But the fact of the matter is that it's like a new pair shoes, you have to break them in. Well you have to get used to wearing it. It is definitely uncomfortable at first, IMO, but after a while you get used to it and forget you have it on.

At this point I HATE holding the phone to my head. I have a backup wired headset in the event my bluetooth dies.

Re: I was going to say the same thing Bob...I was watching

doesn't that radiation also go to the kidneys? bladder? stomach? hands? What about those that stick it in their bra while doing something outside?

Why not just set it on the counter, desk, etc. instead of carrying it all the time?
