I’m thankful it wasn’t clipped to my braided belt. I laid it on my VCR before I read the paper this morning and completely forgot to bring it to work. As soon as I punched my time card, I realized I left it. The pager is completely gone, VCR damaged beyond repair, shellac on my wood paneling is crackled up, and my popcorn ceiling has minor smoke damage.
I’m calling Alltel as soon as they open tomorrow morning, and you better believe I’m gonna let them have it.

Haven't heard that word since early to late 60's when I worked for 2-3 companies out of college but then hired myself in 1970, later creating 2-3 companies with one still giving me a meager penitence 40 years later.

In the future they’ll have a push-to-talk cellular device called a Nextel. When you need to talk to somebody you’ll just hit a button on the side of your phone and you’ll be able to communicate at long distances like talking through a walkie-talkie. Everyone around you will be able to hear your entire conversation. It will be amazing.

Ham radio already allows me to broadcast to tons of interesting people every Friday night. We usually have our neighbors Buddy and Delphine come over for a Jell-O salad and coffee, then Buddy and I dial in on the set while the girls play cribbage and gossip. Love gettin together at the local Lion’s Club operator meetup once a quarter.

Good thing you weren’t in a phone booth using a pay phone at the time it exploded.
