OT Hello gang. I've been couped up here in Las Vegas working for 5 days and only twice gotten to a computer. Talk about missing a habit. I realize now investing in the Q has quenched any thirst I may have had for gaming here. I guess I'll have to wait two days to hear if the trial delayhelps or hurts & who. Tony

Our phones (amazingly enough) are about ten years old, and back then (pre-Internet), there would never be a situation where a telephone manufacturer would assume a phone line (and the LED) would be "on" for a huge portion of each day. I am pretty sure there is no way to hook up an A/C adapter to our phone. The only phones that I was ever aware had household current going into them were -- the old "princess" phones. (It is possible "younger" readers will have no idea what a princess phone is (was)). Jon.
