    I was at a shipper about 7 years ago.
    I still had the Nokia flip phone at the time.
    There was about 20 people in the shipping office
    Having a meeting when I checked In.

    There was a problem with the pick up number
    so I whipped out my phone right there and everybody
    In the office started laughing at me.
    They said my phone was a dinosaur.

    They took pictures of my phone and emailed
    it to all their friends so they could all have a
    good laugh.
    You would have thought I had a old rotary
    phone the way they were acting. Lol.

    Had that phone for years.
    Finally at@t called me and said I had to get rid
    Of it because the new technology would no longer
    support it.

    I have a Blackberry...physical keyboard and all...and my "phone" app? Yes, it's rotary dial.

    Just 'cuz you get a new phone doesn't mean you have to give up your old ways!

    What does he care. It's not like he can see anybody who's ever criticized him.

    That is not your concern.
