Why would that bother anybody? I love the landline. I like the
way the phone is cradled between the ear and shoulder as I'm lying in
bed. I can talk an hour and not feel like I'm working. It's not that
way with the cellphone. Oh I know, now it's, "Well, if you don't like
the way your fingers cramp up with the cellphone, why not get an ear
bud or use a speaker phone?" Yeah right. The people I know who use
the cellphone exclusively either don't know or don't care how bad the
sound quality is for the person on the other end of the line. Maybe
you're being sarcastic. Is that what :-) means? If not, I can't for
the life of me see why anybody would be irritated by people who choose
to retain some of the older things that for them are superior and
still not completely obsolete. That's not smug, that's just plain
stupid.
