I just bought my first thing on WOOT. http://www.woot.com/default.aspx

We have one of those phone sets where there's a base station and then two handsets that only need electricity. Well, I've lost one of the handsets, and when I page it- nothing. Either it's completely dead, or abducted by aliens. At any rate, I waited a month for it to turn up, and it hasn't. It's a pain to keep switching the phone from computer room to living room. (The old phone is in the bedroom, and the third no-phone line handset is out in the shed). Grrr. I can't believe we can't find the stupid thing.

But the new phones get good reviews. I'll have two more phones- lose one, buy three, net two.

Bedroom on my side of the bed and computer room on my side of the room??? Our house is too small for six phones!! Maybe the very old one could retire.

I tell you what, it pays to have a phone around that isn't cordless, though, for when the electricity goes out, AND be able to locate it :-)
