- First I want to ask about Copy & Paste. My problem is when I'm trying to copy something that is larger than the screen. Is there a way to make the screen scroll while you are copying something?

- Second can someone, in the most basic way possible, tell me what the hell Google voice is used for? What exactly is the benefit of using it as opposed to just using the cell number?
 
Google Voice:

You get one number that can forward to a number of other numbers. For example you give someone your GV number, they call it, you can set GV to ring your mobile phone, office phone, and home phone at the same time or in a certain order. This is also call screening and voicemail included. Your GV number also supports text messages. In addition if you go to GV you can initiate a call to anywhere in the US. GV will call your specified number (mobile, work, home, etc...) and then it will connect you to your destination call making the long distance call free.

Basically it is one number that never changes. You give out your GV number and keep your other numbers private. If one of your private numbers ever change you update GV and your contacts never have to update their records.
