    Our beloved and admittedly, technologically impaired, moderator, Chris 4x4, has finally joined the 21st century and traded in his old cell phone for a brand spanking new, state-of-the-art, Android powered, LG Vortex. This, after years of old-school cell phones, none of which ever lasted more than six months.

    Please, everyone, take a moment to welcome Chris to the age of the smartphone. And please don't mind his random muttering, he is slowly adapting to the new technology and he finds it a bit overwhelming.


    Don't forget to vote for how long you think this new piece of technology will last before being destroyed, returned or lost.

    I vote 72 hours... 24 hours to figure out how everything works, 24 hours to invent ways things should 'work better' and 24 hours to put them in place, thus hosing the phone :D


    I only say that because that'd be my trend if I ever went to a smart phone. I'll stick to the dark ages with my regular phone.

    His number is the same, but he does request that people not text him as he still does not have a texting plan.

    No, Brunes put the poll in for me. I would never spell the word that way, nor would I use the word "hose". I believe that he is secretly Canadian.

    I do thank him for helping me out though.
