I just figured how to set-up my work e-mail on my iPhone. Easy peasy. Too easy. I shouldn't have done that.

It isn't like I hadn't been checking work e-mail through the phone before - just in a more clunky fashion. Ah, well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If it's one of those leashes that lets you leave the fucking office, BRING IT ON.
I'm trying to convince them to put my mail on my third device, but for some reason that's a little much. Dammit! I want to be able to walk away as much as possible.

Yeah, had a big talk with student who DEMANDED part time office worker who does payroll should check his messages at home. Dude. He's part time. If he checks messages from home, then he will get more done, and not on company time, then we can't justify making him full time. And the kid is part time! Nope, student thought it was rude, and that everyone is connected now, and that he should check messages all the time. Um. Yeah, if he's part time, odds are, he can't afford internet access at home. Student went from undergrad to grad school. Probably has never had to pay for internet access at his home.

You're excluding phones from the definition of internet access, I'm assuming.

Is anyone here using UPNP?

I believe he has a standard 3-color cell phone only (as in, it's green, he pinks it up, and says "yellow")

What is "it's green" supposed to mean? I've never heard that phrase before.
I worked part time with a guy five plus years ago who had no email. It was kind of interesting watching people not react to that--he wasn't defensive or anything. It just hadn't been anything he (early 20s?) had ever felt he needed.
It was also interesting checking assumptions about who had or "needed" what in 21st century Los Angeles. I think he got his first email address with about six months of the conversation where he originailly told us we couldn't get in touch with him that way. Still no computer, as far as I knew, but someone hooked him up with free webmail, and he followed up with a phone that gave him easy access.
I haven't looked at the cellphone and smartphone penetration numbers in LA since then, but I am trying to remember what my source was at the time.

Ha - the cell phone equivalent of a PHD camera. (Push Here Dummy)
One of our coop board members claims to have no email address, but I'm pretty sure what he means by that is "I don't want to give you my email address."
