Yes, even at the gas station - and still haven't sparked any explosions
from the static discharges... I love MPG.

Dave,

I always have mine in a ripoff case and I whip it out anytime, anywhere
:-)

But yes I sometimes do pull it out while I am standing in line waiting,
gets lots of attention and people can't believe it was cancelled that
long ago. Some say that they will check out ebay and j+k sales and get
one, but I don't know if they do. In any case I do enter things pretty
quick as sometimes my mind is like a sieve! Later I will go through my
wallet and make sure.
