Solar Storms Could Mean Problems
Just saw this and thought that some of you might be interested in it. If a big flare hits here it could ever stop cell phones.

Good! Without cellphones maybe people would concentrate a bit more on driving.
Naahhh...what was I thinking?!?

Steve, are you kidding me?
I was travelling with my new boss 3 weeks ago when his Blackberry went on the fritz. Instead of just leaving it off, he must have turned that stupid thing on and off 25 or 30 times in one afternoon. Of course he was driving at the time and I was sure we were going to smack another car on at least two occasions while he was playing with the thing.
Many peole are totally adicted to i-phones, Blackberries, and whatever. They just cannot live without them. I only use my cell phone when travelling and I turn it off at 4:30 in the afternoon. Anything after that can wait until 8:30 the next morning.   Of course I am practicing to be an old phart.

Wayne,
Practicing!!!! 
There is a guy here that stops nearly every morning in front of my place and I went out to see what he wanted and he was talking on his cell phone. The only one that I have ever seen do that around here. He told me that he has enough trouble trying to avoid the fools talking on them while driving and that if he was talking at the same time he would certainly wind up in a wreck.

True. But I don't even have a cell phone to carry. I have thought about trying to find just a cheap one that I could leave in the car in case I get out and have something break or need a tow truck. But I haven't looked to see if I can even find one that just makes calls and doesn't have all of the other gadgetry on it any more.

I have one of those no gadgetry cell phones and it is only on when I need to use it, it's a TRAC phone, I buy minutes every couple months just to keep the same # so the wife can call and tell me what to bring home. I still have a hard time retreving her messages so I just call her.

Where did you find it? Our Walmart and Target used to have them but the last time I asked about them they said they didn't have any and may not get any more. I have to go to my eye doctor tomorrow so I may check back in at Walmarts and see.

A couple of years ago, I needed a new cell phone as my old one was acting up. I told the sales lady that I had one priority for the phone and that is good reception (this was before digital) . She starts asking what color I want, do I want to take pictures?, bla, bla, bla. I told her that she was not listening; I needed a phone that will give me good reception. She just could not seem to understand that all I wanted to do was to be able to hear, and be heard, clearly.

Joe,
Boy is that ever true. By the time they make them public they are already using ones that are three generations advanced. That is why I laugh when I hear people around here talking about waiting until next month so they can get the latest and best computers out.I know one person that actually waited a full year trying to be sure he would get the latest and best and every time he would get ready to buy one there would be a newer model show up.
