Cell phones are "free" when you sign up for service.

True, but mine is like an old friend and it seems I dont' know who
will die first.

No, when I first got a cell phone, I would kill it quickly. Well, one
lasted a day before it was baptized in Carlyle lake, and others jsut
wouldn't hold up to the abuse I put them through. My wife finally got
me an 'industrial strength' one whose case is heavier than most in
it's class. it's been used and abused until the face is worn off to
where you can see the electronics inside, and the numbers are non
existent on the key pad but it's been a reliable old bugger.

It doesn't matter. If I don't own it, it's not worth owning.
