I think it simplifies things a bit to consider them as uninvited guests to most functions. After all, many people have personalized them to the point of personification. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if many actually were given names. And, not to put to fine a point on things, but at a luncheon appointment one puts nothing on the table, CrackBerry or no. Warm regards, EG
