At least you know where he likes to eat.

You have to set up a grid to keep track of his movements. When you see him, mark it down. Eventually, you’ll know where he likes to shiat on Sundays.

I wish you Godspeed.

Dittos here on the Pay As You Go. While my family has fancy phones and the family [plan on T-Mobile I use my old Tracphone flip phone. Paid ten bucks for the phone and got maybe 30 minutes airtime to start. Now ten-twenty dollars a month an I'm good to go.

All I need my phone phone calls!

Mrs p6 and the boys use them for EVERYTHING despite having Android tablets. That said when we re-upped the three phones on T-Mobile Mrs p6 said that to get the phones - free - it would only cost another $20 TOTAL on top of the $115 we had been paying for two years. IOW $135/month. That was for unlimited text, calls AND DATA!

WRONG I am now shelling out over $220/month so they can check the stars in the night sky, play games, share pics and videos and who knows what else!

Quite a change from when I grew up and the phone in my parent's house had a crank, separate mic and earpiece on a LONG cord and we were on a party line.

I seem to recall that later on ours had a rotary dial on the bottom. Then we went to a private line and the phone was the standard black phone with a rotary dial. We were fortunate because when we went to that we had TWO phones in our home, one upstairs and one downstairs although they were both on the same line.

It's wasn't until I took over running things in the early 70's we had two lines in the house.

[B Knotts]

maybe he’s right, who knows. all i know is work too much with windows to want it on my phone.

Heh. I helped someone set on up a few months ago. It's not horrible, but a bit too social media-oriented for my taste. It's certainly better than Microsoft's previous attempts at mobile OSs.

Funny thing, that.

Last time I posted that I'd run into him in a restaurant, I got a FReepmail naming the restaurant...

[null and void]

I will neither confirm nor deny the name of the restaurant. He’s enough of a target as is.

“What specifically did you dislike?”

I am fairly tech savvy, but I did not like the way the menus were laid out. Even finding basic functions required going through too many menu levels.

Just the way my brain works, I suppose. My friend is just so-so with the phone.

BTW, I don’t have an iPhone but I think it is a well-designed UI. I don’t want Apple products because I think it’s absurd that you have to go thru iTunes for everything.

We had a party line when I was a kid. Two long rings and a short ring meant the call was for us.
And you could pick up the phone and listen to your neighbor’s conversations. It could be like a real life soap opera.

[SoDak]

I was 5 when we got our first phone, and our number was “239”.

[RegulatorCountry]

In my early childhood I vaguely remember the neighborhood busybody eavesdropping on the party line, but even then the number was the standard seven digit local number that it is now.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

” but even then the number was the standard seven digit local number that it is now.”

They used to use words instead of numbers for the first part. Ours was Hunter-8 Wich was a cute way of saying 488.

[ThunderSleeps]

maybe he’s right, who knows. all i know is work too much with windows to want it on my phone.

Me neither. At work I use Red Hat and Windows 7. At home I use Linux by choice, and I have an Android based phone. I also have an iPod Touch. My wife has an iPhone. In other words, I see a lot of different tech. I prefer Linux and Android. That's me, they work for me.

Here's my take on it - the dirty little secret the fanboys of the various camps don't want you to realize... They're all pretty good. They've all got their relative strengths and weaknesses. Use what works for you.

Party Pooper!

[ThunderSleeps]

Party Pooper!

Ah 'cmon. We can always start a flame war over something else...

Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge. Pretty well settled here since Ford didn't take a government bailout. Hard to support the others. {ducking for cover}

Remington vs Mossberg?

Bourbon vs other whiskeys.

Free weights vs machines.

Skiing vs snowboarding.

Charcoal vs propane.

Polished stainless steel cookware vs nonstick vs seasoned cast iron.

Blondes vs redheads vs brunettes. Obviously green-eyed auburn hair wins... ;-)

Any number of national and local beers.

The merits of any of the NFL teams vs some other team.

The merits of NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, NASCAR, etc. for entertainment.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

No religion?

[Does so]

Don't much like AT&T either. T-Mobile for me.

'Hate to break it to you, but AT&T bought T-Mobile last month.

[bert]

-——Hate to break it to you, but AT&T bought T-Mobile last month. ——

I thought this transaction was disapproved and not allowed to take place

“Hate to break it to you, but AT&T bought T-Mobile last month. “
