I've tried to use my landline as much as possible. I've got AT&T "more bars in more places" except Cupertino and my 50+ year old wood frame construction house apparently. Unless "bars" refers to drinking establishments, which is what I generally need when I have to try to make a phone call and can't get a signal (or when I have to call Comcast about my poor internet connection).
The only downside to using my landline is when I use the cordless, I can't get very far down the block before the signal drops out and the longest RJ-11 cable I can find is about 100'. :-) Larry -----Original Message----- From: Computer Guys Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric S.

There's doubt about the amount of RF radiation you get from a handset transmitting next to your brain. I doubt that the transmissions from a tower would be an issue unless you were right next to the antenna. Like within a few meters. I'm not a cellular/mobile expert but I try not to use my cell phone generally, not out of health concerns but rather because the overall quality sucks compared to landlines. It is convenient but it's not my device of choice. ************************************************************************ * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************ * ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
