No, No, No!  I do not have any such thing but the newer OS and  
machines are leaning that way so heavily.  No, we have no cell phone  
because they will not work up our canyon and it is too expensive to  
have one for travel.  We looked at pay-as-you-go cell phone but it  
turned out it would only work in the heavily populated areas and not  
on the highways between.  There is cell phone service along most of  
the highways but the pay-per-use phones did not work there.

I was lamenting that our old stand-by for using older technology long  
past the norm, Geoff, has even left me behind! :-)  but then he has  
business to do with his machine...  and Guys like me would hardly  
keep Apple in business! :-)

All the best.
