Hello Jim,


Can you get a cell phone anymore that DOESN'T have a camera ?:-)

Yes, I've got one, the Nokia 2115i. Also named "Shorty". It is a very
basic "phone phone". As Roy said it may be prohibited or at least
impolite to enter the facilities of a company with a camera phone.

I was only thinking "what consumer crap", but you make a VERY good
point... virtually every place I go prohibits cameras.


Roy beat me by 22 minutes since we took our dogs for a long walk.

That's why we have a special grassed area in the back yard... for the
dogs. It's going to be 112°F again today ;-)

The patio got up to 121°F yesterday :-(

So I
guess that would make it "his point" :-)

Won't walk them in the afternoons anymore though. It gets way too hot
and then the pavement is too toasty for their paws.

WRT to phones I'll never understand why people need all this nerd stuff
in there.

I don't either, but I DO like the GPS location feature. Though my
wife drove me directly to hospital when I had a heart attack, what
about next time? I want the EMT's to find me NOW.

TV on a cell phone? Ridiculous. What cell phones lack is a
simple method to xfer contact info between PC and phone. With the Nokia
(and most others) you need a cable, special software and so on. IIRC
Timex was much smarter. One of their watches could be held in front of a
PC monitor. You hit the "transfer" button and it would start flashing
like crazy. A photocell inside would receive the data. Now that was
clever. No IrDA port and all that stuff. Simple and efficient.

How about the new phones with BlueTooth?
