I can't say I have taken the $$ plunge in order to have constant mobile access to computing and communications. I still resist the idea of a cell phone and rarely take the one I own anywhere or use it for more than a couple calls a month.

These are personal decisions, not editorial comments on your choices. I say, if this works for you, more power to you. (The tech-impaired geezer jokes are inevitable with this crowd, tho. Just expect it.)
