Frederick, do you ever turn your 1000 off? Ah... why should you, though? You really have "unlimited" usage, don't you? That's gotta be nice. Mike

PT, we are still waiting for you to stick a fork in this thing. We are still waiting for you to say something NEW since you wandered in here the last time. OK, here's something new: Nextel's TV ads SUCK. A recent example: a bunch of people get stuck in the elevator. A "junior VP" proudly pulls out his cellphone and calls his secretary, only to get her voicemail. A mailroom boy pushes a button on his Nextel and immediately gets in touch with a maintenance person. That's exactly backwards. Mailroom people do not sign purchase orders, junior VP's do. Also, given that cellphone is still very much a status symbol, what white collar person would want to have the same equipment as mailroom clerks do? Hey, the guy is carrying a Nextel, he must be in the pizza delivery business. PTB
