I dont know about these last few posts. I recall a life where there was no internet, only good hobby shops that may or may not share information ahead of time about new products. What was on the shelf was what you bought unless you talked with one of those mail houses.Today they push internet, wireless, celluar, HDTV etc. Technology. I have formed a humble opinion that there is sufficient technology and I need no more. So I resist buying that big HDTV because my computer's widescreen is capable of displaying it should I get TeeVee over the internet.But I could program and run my choo choo with the computer as well. Pretty fancy. I remember when back in the 80's Cell Phones started to be sold and they were these massive bricks the size of a Bible and with a 6 foot antenna that would slice and break on everything and anything. Watching one of these people trying to walk a certain way pointing the cellphone and antenna towards the distance tower was humerous.Now Cellphones are so common that it is possible to issue them to kindergardeners and allow them to grow up thinking these were a necessity of life. Never mind that ancient old telephone and it's wire to the base of the wall.Im typing this over such a ancient telephone that costs more than my wife's cell does each month. Until someone explain to me why a dailtone, 911, long distance and regulatory taxes causes my (Minus DSL) land line to be more than cell costs per month I would be most appreciate it.Half tempted to find me a wireless tower off the router and set up an account that way and tell AT&T to pack up thier bloated telephone bill and shove it.Then cells would be a necessity now wouldnt it?
