Can you hear me now?

Yep, foodie, it's just nuts. The politicians say no new taxes and then they try to sneak something like that in on a good or service they think we won't give up. As if we won't notice. Just like MCI thinks no one will ask about their fees.

As I said, I don't pay for the cell phone though, so as long as the company does that, I won't complain about who they pick.

But yesterday was waiting to get tires for my car(going to the High Museum Wine Auction in Atlanta this week) and read in one of the financial magazines about a computer to computer service that's free from an outfit called Skype. They have a dot com site at the same name. Apparently you need broadband for for the free world service, but magazine says there's a pay service that allows calls to regular phones from the computer. Will look at that later.

My trouble is that I have a rental house that I'm working to sell right now, as well as trying to get on the road out of town soon(and prepared to talk to winery folks), so time is limited. Lot of balls in the air.

May pick an interim service for the home phone, just to get away from the big bad company and work out the finer details later.
