   I would still be using payphones if they were not so crapy.... Lord knows
I've resisted the urge more then once to attach a chain to a ill-fated
payphone and drag it down the road with me. :-()

   Agreed. I *STILL* prefer to use a payphone... Something about a 900mhz
transmitter directly next to something they say is significant to my body
and health... It's fairly large, Gray and controls just about everything my
body does... Seems like sending microwaves through that isn't the smartest
idea in the world....

   But who am I. I prefer Linux over Windows! :-)))))))
