Scott NC Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 What is the difference between a decent phone you pay by monthly unlimited data and one where you run out of "data"? Is it a quality thing? I started with a paygo and never looked into anything else. It's just all I have ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Perhaps you need the uber-unlimited data plan Thomas? Carrier Buzzards operate in Kilo Bites don't they, Billy? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 Sure do! Just feed em some road kill once a day and they’ll make it to New Mexico! you ain’t even gotta build a hutch for em! They’ll hang out in an ol dead tree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Probably wouldn't work so well from here, they'd probably take up permanent residence on the first road kill they came across. Two moose is about all you can fit in a dump truck, I know the guy on the highways crew that put 3 in a dump truck needed help trying to get them out. It took five of us, heavy equipment, chains and it wasn't pretty. When guys are dispatched to pick up a road kill moose they are still admonished to never load more than 2 and our fun with bullwinkles was a good 25 years ago. Some lessons endure. Frosty The Lucky.

ThomasPowers Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 What is the speed of a vulture in flight? I'm running off my wife's phone's hotspot as she threw a fit when the ISP wanted to drill holes in her new metal roof to mount a dish. I don't use my phone for what a laptop is far superior for!

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Flight speed varies from buzzard to buzzard they could deliver a letter from eastern Oklahoma to central New Mexico in about the same time it takes the usps too! And the payload is consistently around four coconuts! Come on Thomas it 2022!!! Not 1999! personally I don’t own a laptop or a desktop computer, I just use my phone for everything, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I use my flip phone for: phone calls, text messages and a camera. My laptop is a bit more well guarded than a typical "smart" phone; I get my "curmudgeonity" naturally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Hey, it's a new one---only a year or so old and rated for shock, water, etc---meets a mil spec. Fits in a pocket and no pesky large screen to be damaged! I just wish it had a physical ascii keyboard like my last phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I miss my old mil-spec flip phone but Verizon bought out all the cell towers and became our new phone provider so we had to buy new phones. Sorry no chip for the one you already own and gee whiz, all they had in stock were Iphones! I talk, take pics and yell at people for texting me on the iphone though the compass function is handy occasionally. This lap top is as small as I'll go for computer stuff. Uh. . . Billy if you really use your cell phone for EVERYTHING I'm not touching it, ever! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 My iPhone 11 Pro Max is water proof shock proof chemical proof an can do anything a laptop can do an fits in my pocket! after I first got it 2-1/2 years ago I left it on the hood of my truck an didn’t realize till I was goin 65mph over Baron bridge, it vibrated off an rolled do the highway, I stopped got out a picked it up an kept goin, id like to see a laptop do that! Jerry, my phone has soaked up enough oil, grease, carburetor cleaner and gasoline that I’m pretty sure it’d burn for a month if it ever caught fire!

ThomasPowers Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Can it show a foot wide diagram at full size all at once? Mainly I don't want all my personal data on my phone; shoot I try to keep a bunch of it off the laptop too; I mean what's likely to happen if the arrival date of the Mother Ship is leaked to the general public?

ThomasPowers Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just signed up for Quad-State; I get a discount this year! I hope I can camp near the goings on and not in the north forty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Did ya get a senior discount? Do I need to get you a golf cart or a four wheeler to get ya around up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I'm betting a senior discount. I'm hoping Deb and I can enjoy the senior discount in a year or so maybe get their early enough to park the RV with the Iforge gang. Billy, I hope you bring enough golf carts for everybody. I've never heard of anybody stepping into a fountain or traffic checking their lap top. How's the split screen on your phone? Frosty The Lucky.

ThomasPowers Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Senior Discount; but then I paid for the campsite for 3 days for the group pickup pooling from NM. Golf cart is no good for wandering the tailgating area. I need a sedan chair or palanquin! Hope the weather is tolerably tolerable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 An anvil shaped palanquin with bearers wearing coyote uniforms for Thomas. Frosty gets an airconditioned igloo palanquin with snowman bearers! And Billy gets a riding lawnmower repair shop palanquin! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 You forgot the zoooom Beep Beep for mine, the moose chasing yours and the hoard of customers asking "Is it done yet?" for Billy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 A moose and igloo don't go together. Walrus uniforms on the other flipper! Good point, Billy's palanquin would have a couple dozen handles all round and the bearer's uniform would include a work order flag. Iforge mods should get moshed by dopey questioners.
