Something like five six years ago when when the U.S.'s North East lost power for three days I was still able to turn in homework via my laptop, a UPS system, modem, and the good ole landline. Doing homework and reading assignments by candlelight! Sounds like a good story to tell the spoiled grand kids.


And yet the various phone company sales reps think I'm paranoid when I say I want to stay with my regular (copper) land line and not go to VoIP or cell phone only. I won't say I'm feeling smug, since the situation is serious for so many people, but I am feeling validated in my decision. Mark Post
