You kinda get used to flawless reception when making calls from home, but something changed with his service about 2 months in, and now he doesn't even get that. I'd go nuts.

A friend tried to talk me into doing that when I moved into my last place, but I wasn't keen. Bad reception and tiny buttons on cellphones drive me batty. I don't have a business need for one, usually (until all payphones everywhere go the way of the dodo), but I have to admit, using them as walkie-talkies to meet up with your friends is just about worthwhile all by itself.

Multi-region dvd player? Have had one for ages, for the express purpose of viewing foreign btvs dvds. I don't foresee another BtVS coming along. IOW, I won't care that much, most likely, even for stuff like Shaolin Soccer.

I have a cell phone, which includes a camera and mobile IM, and could let me access email if I paid a bit more. It's cool, though the mobile IM has been relatively unhelpful. Anyone who'd be IMing me could just as easily call me, and it's a pain to type on the numeric keypad.

I have a cell phone and no home phone, and I'm doing fine. I'm a little wary of my apartment next year, though. Uncertain about the signal quality.

I love my cell phone. I hate using it at home.

Even when you don't consider BtVS, my multi-region player is worth its weight in gold for The Professionals and Crying Freeman. Vidocq is just gravy.

I had only a cellphone for awhile, back when I first got it, but then I moved in with roommates, so we had a home phone, and since then I've had DSL, so I have to have a home phone anyway. Mostly use my cell, though. It's got all the phone numbers in it!

We've got a home phone, but I don't ever give out the number, and very rarely use it unless it is to get a FAX.

I like my cellphone with no picture. I like retaining some mystery, thanks. Also no iPod, sidekick, palm device of any sort, or TiVo. Working on the digital camera. Have multi-region dvd player, and functional wireless laptop. Which apparently didn't like Anne's wireless setup, or the operator was too dumb to set the laptop up right. Yes, Anne,

I lurves me some rollercoasters. Also, any other kind of ride that involves plummetting.

Who is a plummetting freak! I'm glad I didn't know this about you before. Nah, you go, have fun with it. I have serious plummetting problems. One of my major major freak-points.

I have an ipod, blackberry, cellphone and wireless laptop. No plans to get a sidekick, since I already have to carry the blackberry and cellphone for work.

Feeling very Little House on the Prairie over here... no cellphone--I'd lose it, or get Lee Atwater's disease no pda--I make lists to lose them no microwave--Funny how my quality of life has not diminished no car--9 years...gonna have to turn in my Califorinian card. I think there is a rule. Who needs a car in DC? no tv--Hi, my name is Bj and I'm an addict...There is no 12 step in the world that can save me from the blinking eye. So I just watch tv on dvd.

I'm off to churn some Parkay.

I likes me the plummetting, as long as there is no skill involved on my part (noooo jumping from planes for me). My sister, who is not an adrenaline junkie, decided she wanted to ride the "eXtreme SkyFlyer" with me on a family outing at our nearby amusement park (Canada's Wonderland). That's the harness one where they drop you from about 120 feet and you bungee for a couple of seconds, then swing back and forth. Pretty tame by thrill-seeking standards. I thought it was great. My sis screamed like she was being murdered the whole time. And they'll sell you the whole thing on video.

My mother was not too impressed with her entire genetic legacy being risked in one throw of the dice like that, which added to the amusement.
