You will find me on Facebook but only if you know my alias. I didn't use
my real name there, same as I do here. If I decide to turf the Facebook
account, it's simply a matter of abandoning it. After all, I only
registered because my grandkids wanted me to. They, and select friends,
know my alias and are the only ones I communicate with.

I never bothered with Twitter because I couldn't see any usefulness, at
least from my perspective.

Mobile phones I have aplenty. I need to carry three around at any given
time, two being for my work and one for my private use. Maybe I can
convince my employer to supply me with an iPhone, maybe even an iPad. An
iPhone would be more interesting to tinker with than my current phones.
