Well, my cell 1 account has been disconnected as of today. I get the
new Verizon phone Saturday and glad of it. My battrered and broken 3
yr old phone will finally be laid to rest. Besides Verizon is offering
a $10.00 discount to turn it inand retire it. I really don't know why
they'd want it. Of *course they'll throw it in the trash, but...

AND I believe I get to keep my original phone number.
YES-S-S-S!

In answer to your question earlier...my CID says 'Schnautz Tim' and gives the
phone number which I won't put here. That way it won't get put in you-know-who's
rec.boats data base.

'rec.boats database?" huh... I didn't know there was such a thing.
But USENET is pretty permanent that is for a while......
