Folks: Nothing goes into my smartphone except for my phone list. All data (financial, email, everything) is on and stays on my desktop. I treat my phone as a phone and only a phone. In fact since I lost too many of them bouncing out of my bag on my bicycle, I leave my phone on my desk at home almost all the time. I treat it like an old fashioned desk phone. It sits next to my desktop computer.
Just like the old days. If it craps out, all I lose are some phone numbers, most of which are written down in a note book in my desk drawer. Facebook never gets that phone number.

The page pops up a request for a phone number they can text a code to, but I don't have a phone that can take text messages. And why would I want to give them my phone number, anyway? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug -- Mark Allyn Bellingham, Washington www.allyn.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
