Jim likes to check things out like that.
Me, I would rather use my new system with Verizon.
I have worked hard to do email by the phone, and even if I say so myself, I
plum don't do that bad.
My lists laugh at me if they get a blank message.
I even hit the wrong keys on this computer trying to do something else.
Keeps me thinking.
