[AT] atis bulletin board gone?

[Cecil Bearden]

The mail list is just so much simpler.   I am sick of all this new 
technology that just creates bells and whistles and doesn't really do 
anything.  I would like to get a cell phone that I can read, hear, and dial 
out.  The new ones can do everything but call out for longer than 15 seconds 
here.  I don't even have a land line that will work when it rains.  I got 
stuck with verizon after alltell after AT&T was changed from SW Bell mobile 
systems.  The old bag phone and the old long motorola worked the best.  The 
new digital is terrible.. The new digital TV is a pain here, and when we 
were in the cellar with a tornado going by, we could only get radio because 
our battery tv in the cellar was no longer any good due to the digital crap. 
To get a digital convetor in the cellar, we would have to run an inverter or 
get a new tv and the new digital will not penetrate the reinforcing in the 
cellar...  An antenna stuck up through the roof vent does not sound like a 
good deal for lightning !!!  Our cellar has been within 15 ft of getting 
struck 5 times in 25 years..  Internet TV won't work because the wifi goes 
out when the electricity fails.  We ran on generator for 24 hours yesterday, 
$300 in fuel cost.
