In reply to: Sandy 's message, "LOL, Vicki. I understand totally about the new technology. I'm still very happy with my phone and according to the salesman in the store, it's packed with options. But Gerry's phone is acting up. He's been eligible for an upgrade for some time and, of course, I just CAN'T let him get a new phone if I can't. And mine was free. We paid $79 for his ($50 online discount) and then paid for a new pouch for him to use. All in all, the bill came to $104 with a new 2 year activation, which isn't a problem since we've never been with anyone other than Verizon." on 10:25:07 am, Sun, 06/24/07

But watching how the technology has changed, just in the past few years, is almost scary. Only 15 years ago, cell phones were huge and bulky and only a few people even had them. Now you can text, take pictures and video, access your email and even watch TV. I have a feeling that it won't be too long before cell technology does away with the need for any kind of land line and possibly even a desktop computer!! We'll be able to do all of that stuff, including watching TV, on a cell phone that's no bigger than a credit card. Maybe it's time for me to learn how to text, huh? I think back to when Ken got his first cell phone, and he was the first in our family to do so, and I thought he was nuts. Now, I wouldn't live without it. (NT) -- Sandy, 10:35:35 am, Sun, 06/24/07
