Hotel offers Blackberry Detox:
CHICAGO (Reuters) - BlackBerry addicts have a crack at freedom when they check into one Chicago hotel: the manager will put the communications devices and others like them under lock and key for guests who want a break.
"I was really addicted to my BlackBerry. I had an obsession with e-mail," he told Reuters. "Morning and night. There came a time when I didn't think it was healthy ... I quit cold turkey."
The popular hand-held devices [are] sometimes called "CrackBerries" because users become so reliant on them.
So...any takers? Come on, I know most of you are attached at the hip to yours.
Here's more about the help you too can get.

PS - this is what you get when you cross post at The Blorg. Pointless commentary. Sorry, it;s in my nature.

OK - a better person.
