[AT] Satellite Tracking was Warning and apology.

	Hi Charlie:

	Actually I think such devices are a great idea... as long as they have 
an off switch...
:-)
One could solve a bit of concern I have had. I am seriously considering 
dropping our two land lines and replacing it with the broadband service 
my neighbor has (I forget which one right now) that he is really happy 
with. Diana and I both carry prepay cell phones all of the time and the 
broad band would allow long visiting phone calls with internet phone 
service which would limit the need for many cell minutes. Our cells are 
not used for visiting calls, just basic contact use. One concern was not 
having a phone in the house in case we were both gone when a couple of 
our grandsons get off of the school bus but I decided that I could 
activate a third prepay phone I already have and have a specific spot 
where it would always be sitting and charged. Our prepays cost us less 
than $10 a month each. My other concern is the problem of not having the 
911 locater of the land line. They can only get within about a mile with 
the cell phones.
	We can pay for our three cell phones and the broadband and still be 
paying substantially less than we now pay for the 2 line basic phone 
service and the snail speed dial up ISP service and our 2 cells. It 
would almost be like free broadband.
:-)
	If I was saving that much money I could then afford a unit like you 
mentioned. I personally knew of about 4 fatally injured farmers locally 
that might have been saved by such a unit as well as a couple of heart 
attack and stroke victims. Of course none of them even had cell phones.
	I still find myself up on a roof now and then and when I cut wood at 
our woods in the next county east I have yet to see a cell phone show 
service available in that immediate area. They barely get TV there 
except satellite.
