I saw a funny ad once for a pickup truck.  I think it was GMC.  People 
in the truck are riding along, continuing to look at their cell phone 
display.  They keep saying things like "darn, still not right" or 
something similar.  This goes on for a while.  Eventually, they end up 
on top of a tall mountain.  They look at the cell phone and there is a 
big icon that says "no service".  The guy closes the phone and says 
something like "now it's right".  There are few ads I even tolerate, but 
that was amusing, at least for the first 5 times I saw it.

Personally, though, I like the option of making a call should the need 
arise.  I don't get TOO far off the beaten path when I'm outdoors.  I'm 
more of a paved trails and boardwalks type of person.  To each his own 
though.

Sincerely,

Ron

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
