The damnfool phone cable between the computer and the wall died overnight, so the cordless I usually carry into the bedroom wasn't working this morning. This prompted me to join the cellphone world (Yes, yes. What took you so long? Um, frugality?). I went out and bought a Nokia 1100 enabled for Tracfone, since the only reason I can think of to have the phone is a roadside emergency. I don't think I need to surf the web or collect e-mails via phone, but we'll see.
I am so 20th century.

Too much to do, amd I prefer to choose the times when I communicate.
Same with email . . . I have little need to access it on a small device.
