Oh, Hal....you're losing your grip. I know you think the worst invention EVER is the IT 'professional."

When was the last time you saw an IT "professional" without a Bluetooth thingy Krazy glued into his ear?

Social media, today, is a disease that needs to be addressed in medical books.

Along with the addiction to cell phones. Don't get me wrong, I actually think cell phones are very useful. But like many things, if they are abused they become damaging. Is there any reason a seven year old needs an iPhone that mommy and daddy are paying upwards of $50/mo for? Is there any reason kids from an early age into adulthood are glued to their phones while walking, in restaurants, on a checkout line making the cashier wait, at the dinner table? Is it any wonder cell phone use while driving laws are ignored? Now think about DWI laws and the people who can't seem to stay away from alcohol.

We have a problem here.

Now back on topic. Did you ever get that phone off the wall?

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I haven't been able to get back up there yet but will set it up for next week and come back with some results.

Been really busy rolling out Crapco VoIP to replace our Verizon Centrex lines in several buildings. The outages are the fun part. "We need analog back ups?" Ok. How many and who's going to 1)pay for them and 2)routinely check then to see if they are working? Crickets..

Verizon probably doesn't own the phone any more, they sold most of them off to PTS Services, I believe.

Many were promptly disconnected and it is not worth their time or money to come get them quickly, though they will.
