I am considering upgrading my phone.  Where we live, the cell phone service
is terrible.  I have to go out on the porch to get even one bar.  Because
of that, I don't use the phone much at all.  I'd rather communicate by
e-mail.  My kids, though, have the kind of phone service where they can
look up things on the phone from almost anywhere.  They keep saying they
will take me to pick out a new phone, but Tom says the monthly cost will go
up astronomically.  I need to find out, anyway.
