While I CAN understand that, I prefer to activate the vibrator, that buzzes at me, whenever I'm in public. Instead of yelling "Get your danged phone!" at me, they smile, and point at my waist and mimic holding up a phone. They just assume that yelling at a DEEF person wouldn't help much, and shift gears to reasonable people! > On the rare occasions when I do hear it in time, the bell is so > old-fashioned that I want to answer "Gerrard 600.

Thing is, I don't know how to put words on vibrate! Anyhow, no problem here! I know about that too! ;-) keith -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
