Art, two days ago, I called a friend on his cell phone in No. California and we spent a half-hour doing the "cell-phone duet" (where they say something and then you say something --but neither can hear the other). Eventually he found a land line and we could finally talk like normal human beings.

Today, as I sat in my doctor's waiting room for advice on dealing with the flu, my cell phone lost contact with the outside world.

"Hello ... this is Dad. I'm calling you to let you know that I won't be able to pick you up at school. Yes, I know that you tried to call me on my cell phone. Oh ... well ... the nice people at the doctor's office let me use their "land-line" phone once I realized that my "Sprint Digital" cell phone was unable to function.

Yes, son, I am sitting here in one of the most highly populated areas on Earth. But, when it comes to cell phones, that doesn't mean very much ..."

My point is that if technology was more reliable, ordinary people might be willing to spend more money on it. Until then, investors probabky should continue to discount tech stocks ...
