Upgrade

I didn't own the cheapest cell phone on the market.  Pretty close, though.  It had an itty-bitty screen, didn't do much, and was only so-so even as a phone.  My phone wouldn't talk to certain other phones, either.  I could text a friend of mine, but not call him.  It's the oddest thing.

Anyway, a couple of days ago, I got an e-mail from my carrier informing me that starting next month, my bill was going up $10 a month to use this phone, but here's a $50 credit toward a new telephone.  So I purchased a new telephone.  it cost me $10 out of pocket and it does all kinds of things my old phone wouldn't.

I have a keyboard.  My phone will check my e-mail.  It'll take movies.  My old phone didn't even have a camera on it.  My new phone will do lots of stuff my old phone wouldn't.  I think I can even put music on my phone if I put a memory card in it.  Not so sure how that's going to work out with my mac, though.  I have a PC but it still runs Windows 95.  I'm a little behind in the tech world.  Fer instance, my laptop is five years old and not running the latest software.  I think I'm two revisions behind.

Cool.  At least it works.

Anyway, I have a new shiny toy to play with that cost me what the extra payment would've next month so I guess I'm even.  Sorta.

And I took a baby step toward the second decade of the 21st Century.
