    I get a lot of phone calls from an Indian guy who works for Microsoft. He says he knows about the problem with my Microsoft computer. Strange because I have a Mac.

    About a year and 1/2 ago I responded to the same Craigslist add, about someone being deployed in a few weeks and needing to sell their Tacoma. It's really sad when you have to go so low to scam someone.

    What's that thing on the wall that he's talking into? Is that some new stationary type cell?

    Like I should be joking. The house I live in has this (non-functional of course) on the wall. I saw a news story a few weeks ago where two 16yr old boys were challenged to place a call on a rotary dial phone in 3 mins or less: failed.

    I challenge any teenager to text on a push button cell phone.

    Your corded landline phone is pretty valuable, especially if you talk a lot to family.
    You should get a landline to connect it to if you can afford it.
    Cell phones and especially cordless phones emit a lot of harmful radiation...
    The good old days of having a long conversation with your ear to the phone is sadly a thing of the past, or should be.
