I must admit that to date I have not gotten a cellphone....probably the only one in the western world without one:-) Make that two of us. My guess is we don't have mates that "need" to be able to contact us anywhere we are. One buddy complains that his is so his wife can make his life miserable. I now make him leave it in the car when we go to dinner and hike afterwards. He found the experience "liberating" and now does it quite often. I can't remember the exact title, but I remember a Vonuget book from way back that said we need SOME of us to remind the technology who is boss. I often do my part to step on the "exit doormat" in the grocery store as I enter just to make the door look stupid opening for nobody due to my "tricking it". :) Kirk (and yet I buy tech stocks!) out
