Re: OT: This makes so much sense!

My last power outage caused by a hurricane was for slightly over 3 weeks. OTOH, my regular old landline telephone had no service interruption during that time. I have all of my computers, the router & modem on Uninterruptible Power Supplies. They are sized to give me about a half an hour

With most tablets it is easy to connect to a cheap ( about $10) bluetooth keyboard if you want minimal use of the touchscreen. I bought one for my Google Pixel C tablet wheras the original separate keyboard from Google costs about $ 160. The Pixel C has by the way excellent resolution for

Re: OT: This makes so much sense!

It is not just the cell phone service. It applies to any service that assumes multiple resource consumers accessing the same resource, but not all at once. Most of those are NOT designed for the capacity that would provide ALL end users simultaneously. That would be too expensive and

Re: OT: This makes so much sense!

Exactly Bob. Cell phone service has a certain load rate expectation. These load rates are exceeded in many situations. It happened during 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombing, some storms in the south east, etc. I remember that the batteries in the local trunk boxes were really tall, the reason

I miss the days when Ma Bell had batteries in every office to keep the phones working. 15 years ago the exchange the office was on had a fire and went out of service. The majority cell phone provider was overloaded and useless, no connectvity. Something to think about. On Fri, Oct 7, 2016 at 7:59

Ann, I understand that. However, practically, what would be a better solution? Maybe setting a multiline automated system with a prerecorded message informing about the outage status? But that might be impractical, especially if it is a relatively small town with limited resources. But

The old land line telephones were also subject to this kind of over-saturation as well. You just didn't have to worry about where you were going to recharge your cellphone battery if the power was off for a couple of weeks. If you couldn't get through, you could try again in a few minutes & keep

As far as I'm concerned the good news is it works. The bad news is all the old links are now more less bad, mostly more bad. A minor nit is that the Webster26 Icon on most of my PESO pages is blocked by the updog app, which is too bad, I liked that icon. On 10/7/2016 2:25 AM, P.J. Alling
