...city guide that runs on its own funky-looking hardware (it resembles an evil ladybug from outer space). It covers only New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, but the beauty part of Modo is that it receives its listings wirelessly, so you don't have to synch...
...rule, joined Kingsolver's fan clubs, and this novel suggests a reason: They are seldom the central figures in the author?s world. Although Deanna and Lusa never meet, they share subterranean female experiences. Both recognize that men are attracted to them, unknowingly, because of pheromones; both ovulate in synch with the full moon.

The recommended screen size is a weeny 3 in. by 6 in., creating pictures only a philatelist could love. If the screen size is doubled, things go blurry, far below VHS or DVD quality.
