Yeah, if he's part time, odds are, he can't afford internet access at 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."

I think I meant to type "it goes green..." It's an old phone joke that works better spoken, with hand gestures. Stick out your thumb and pinky to make a "phone". Have it "hung up". When it's green, ya shake it a little, as if it is ringing. Then you pink it by answering it. Speak into the phone, and say yellow.

I still don't see what green is referring to, though. Pink and yellow, just fine, but not green.

The status is NOT quo.
Make an old fashioned ring sound and add a g at the beginning.

Brring -> green?
Yeah, I wasn't getting that on my own.
Thanks!

I didn't say it was a *good* joke. Sorry about that.
