October 11, 20223 yr Yeah, Dave, I did say that. And I got her a new flip-phone. I guess we do have 5G. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

Maybe there's Targè in Cornwall, just like a St. Ives... @birdguy yes you can get a flip-phone, in fact, I hear flip phones are making a come back of sorts. My 2006-era LG flip phone lasted until early 2022. At that point I decided to see what the fuss was all about and purchased an iphone. It's ok, but I don't really get the hype as to smartphones. I feel as you do, I just want to call people, and have a list of people I might want to call. Is it possible for me to join you in being a Luddite, being GenX and building my own PC's? Yet, here I am. A phone Luddite maybe. However I have discovered a few apps, like a weather radar app, that I find useful. It never rains in Roswell so that is right out for you. Then I also downloaded a head-tracker app which I play around with in conjunction with flight sim, which sure beats wearing some weird apparatus on my head or attached to my headphones. And then of course these days, if I have the temerity to suggest going to a Cardinal game, no smartphone, no go kemosabe, there's almost no such thing as paper tickets, I have to download the "MLB App"....ugh, what a hassle.
