Way to go Don. Smart phones are a sneaky way for manufacturers to show us elder intellectuals how much of a hipster we could be.
All the above is very much tongue in cheek for those who have sensibilities....:-) Freedom of choice is almost the last thing left that is free in VK Gary -----Original Message----- From: "Don Wilhelm" <[email protected]> Sent: 12/09/2015 8:15 AM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 vs K3s..."to be or not to be an "s" It will be a long time before I buy an iPhone 'anything'. I spend most of my time at home, and we live in a 'shielded box' (stucco with wire mesh) where I cannot get a connection - although some spots do provide 1 bar. Yes, we are in a rural area. As a result I do not own a Smartphone. I do have a cellphone, but it is of the 'archaic' flip-phone type. The XYL just an hour ago was in another building and wanted to talk with me, so she dialed my cellphone - I was in the basement at my workbench, and my phone did not even ring. My phone is useful when I am away from home, but it does not provide the capability of the Smartphones. But do I really need that? I have computer communications at home where I spend most of my time, and all the 'whizbangs' of Smartphones are useless to me unless I travel away from home. I know that is not true for everyone, but that is the best I can do unless we get a cell tower with a sufficiently strong signal to penetrate my shielded house. Just my personal situation - and is not valid for everyone. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/11/2015 5:31 PM, Phil Wheeler wrote: > > OTOH -- Whatever you think of Apple's approach, it sure works for > them!
