We sat around wondering and arguing about stuff that we forgot about before we were able to get somewhere that we could confirm it. ;)Quote:

I have an iphone 4 (Verizon--I actually can use the phone in rural areas), and I have quite a few apps. I use my computer every day for work and for some play. But I don't have a TV and I don't use facebook or twitter, so I guess I'm luddite-lite. My non-work hours are usually spent exercising, daily life, gardening, and reading--real books from the real library, the library that I ride my bike to.
2-3 days a month I go to a small town in Nevada to work at a part time job. I take my RV and park in the parking lot of the hospital for the days I'm there. I don't have a TV or a computer. I access the internet on my phone just long enough to check my email and delete those generous offers to make my p@nis bigger :rolleyes:. That's it. I find it very freeing.
Sit and read a book as we waited for things to download - and I remember having a computer with a 150 MB hard drive - and being quite proud of having all of that space :cool:Quote:
