<<If I had an iPhone or iPod Touch I would LOVE IT!!!! I would be all over the place with it. Couldn't wrench it out of my hand. But my pocketbook at the moment says NO. And my wife is grateful for that. :-D She would have a hard time grabbing my attention LOL!!!>> She could call you on the phone :-) Actually, I am a hard wired girl, but among the young these days, they only have the Iphone. They do not get a hard wired phone at all. So, people are deciding it is the home phone they can do without. Neither my daughter or her boyfriend have a hard wired phone in their apartments. Instead they have their Iphones with them always. Since I am on a "family plan" with my daughter, in which the second phone only costs $10 more a month, the cost is split over the two phones. (Although I bear 100% of the cost, because that is what mom's do.) The only fly in the ointment is that she has to have an additional monthly texting plan. I am not sophisticated enough to understand why, when you can send an email on your phone, you also need to text, unless it is to communicate with people who don't have email on their phones. Dare I dream that we could drop this in the next contract negotiation? Interestingly, my daughter usually calls me while she is walking from work to her next destination. The phone allows her to take this otherwise unproductive time and use it to keep in touch with Mom.
