Guess I'll never understand nostalgia for a product that dropped half the calls with many times the transmitting power. Glad those days are long past except for when we get some cheap carrier and get those old days back

At that time it was amazing that you could get a phone call while you were in your car. Even if it dropped

True. 50 years from now, kids are going to be wondering how we ever made do with our most advanced phone today, which is absolutely junk by their standards. I know I will be glad (unless I am some demented and decrepit old man in a nursing home peeking up the nurse's skirt) that we moved on and probably not reminiscing about today's high tech stuff when the new and futuristic things are there. I would want to be able to view **** that is transmitted to the brain so nobody can see or hear what I am watching. I could be sitting in a church and have people thinking I am absorbed in what the pastor says, all the while, watching **** or some movie with a smile on my face and wood in my pants.
