    Anyone have a second cell with the same #

    I agree, but there is movement out there. Hopefully some competition as well. I also would never go for this, not at any price. I once purchased a feature phone (candy bar phone) at Walmart because it was cheaper then paying for a SIM card from the provider. It worked, the provider activated...

    free 12 volt fan

    These are fairly aggressive for the size. But to be sure, you'd have to know the specs on each. The higher amp fan moves 83 CFM (cubit feet per minute). Yes, probably more then you wanted to know... so I think you could fit (maybe) four of these in a standard size vent which (just guessing)...

    What does everybody do for a living??

    Pensions seem to be mostly in the past. I was one of the last people to receive a pension when hired before they changed to IRA's. When my pension pays out, it is estimated to get me $40.00 to maybe $60.00 per month. I'm sincerely happy for people that have that option and it's worked out well...

    "Unlimited" for $40/month for unlocked iPhones

    I've become very suspicious of needing an app to perform a function or task that shouldn't require an app (like tap talk). For many things I want to do; I can go to the website instead of using an app and having to agree to the companies terms and conditions, such as giving access to my contacts...

    Windows Maps

    I prefer a compass, no batteries or Internet connection required. I've had a compass before cell phones, Internet or GPS was available to the public. I like compasses enough, I took two navigation courses years ago. Out of all devices I have, Android, iOS, Linux and Windows; Windows is the...
