Duh!
CDC is supposedly interested in Disease Control. Landlines must be a disease. Who knew? (For those of you in Rio Linda, it's called Mission Creep. (TSA is next.)).
My landline is a total joke. It rides atop my FiOS connection and costs about a third of the bill.. It only exists because I'm too rich and too lazy to cancel it!
Still have the land-line that was installed 43 years ago, and we’re not about to give it up.
Garbled words and sometimes a kind of hum when folks use cell phones to leave messages on the answer machine. We play the message over and over to understand, and then don’t always.
When we speak over each other using a land line, our words are not clipped, and we generally know what each has said.
Try that on a cell - constantly cut-off, and have to repeat and repeat, and no one knows who should speak first.
CONstant cutting off - time waster, patience trying.
Always think we should say “over” each time we’re ready to listen to the other person - like using a walkie-talkie.
Are there better cell phones than others -?
I’ve never owned a landline and never will. For me, skype is far easier and far better. Plus, if I can’t hear, they can type to me under, and we can do conference calls that actually work, etc.
“HTRN thinks the nostalgia factor will probably count for a lot. Operations that manage to be economical will survive.”
I doubt it. Really the only reason to go see a movie now, is to take a girl out somewhere, and spend some money on her. That’s it.
