Information? Get me Jesus on the line
Sharon Gray's really going to be upset about this one. It seems that a growing number of people have become so attached to their mobile phones, that they're taking them with them to the grave. They're even taking along spare batteries. Just in case, you know, they might want to make a call. [The signal couldn't be all that good down there, could it?]
We know that the friend we wrote about in today's column - the one who's keeping the cost of his 30-inch Apple Studio display a secret from his nearest and dearest - will surely want to be buried with that. But however much we love our Treo, we can't imagine wanting to be buried with it. For one thing, the alarms keep going off. And what if it rang during the funeral? Wouldn't that terrify the mourners? On second thoughts, maybe we should have it popped into the coffin. We could have it play Amazing Grace, as they lowered the box.
Do you have any plans to take any of your digital companions on your final journey?

Not as much as if you answered it :)
