G'day,

Must be time to upgrade. The only thing my el-cheapo cell phone has is a
really nice LED torch.

Remember the Radio-Fax discussion we had last year? As of the latest
telephone network iteration in Oz its almost impossible not to be able to
get the internet everywhere - even Deal Island in the middle of Bass Strait!
Still really enjoy using that wireless fax system though, but its getting
impossible to advocate it as a major technical advance. Suppose its time to
upgrade and throw away my trusty 'kamal', it never gets place names wrong!
:~)

All the best, PeterO
