- I sent mine, but I never heard from the person that he received it. -- nm - pmb Apr 22, 08:46 2
  - See, that's one of my concerns - maybe I didn't receive something that was sent, and my stalker is hurt that I didn't acknowledge it. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 22, 08:49 1

    - Heh, now I remember another Easter. We used to get big hollow sugar-candy eggs. One year I broke off a piece and - MojaveMeg Apr 22, 08:44

    - How else is she supposed to hook up with Daddy Warbucks? -- nm - TWuG Apr 22, 08:09 2
      - I believe her ability to pull something like that may have passed her by about 10 years and 89 hangovers ago. -- nm - Diva Apr 22, 08:10 1
        
        *You* know that, Daddy W knows that, her whole office may know that. But does *she* know that? -- nm - TWuG Apr 22, 08:14

LIR: Like Jax said, use the Android Market or Amazon Appstore to redownload or I'd look at using a tool like Titanium Backup if you have - oblique Apr 22, 06:48 9

  - Contacts backup? Wouldn't that just be your Gmail Contacts? -- nm - JaxSean Apr 22, 06:54 2

      - Yeah, I think the 'older' phones saved them to a SIM, and not necessarily to google. (Or maybe it's a Sprint thing.) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 22, 07:55
- That is definitely a benefit if the iTunes backup system for iPhones (not having to download all again). -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 06:50 4
