Hi Dave,

Now that my job is tied to a desk, I don't use a phone for much.  When
I'm at home I don't hear it ring or beep as I often forget it in my car.

I have a "modern" flip phone as well.  It runs Android and is powerful
enough to run my banking and auth apps.  A slide out full keyboard would
make it my daily driver.  Mostly it sits in a cupboard until trailer
season where I use it as it's better at connecting the computer to the
internet then my normal phone which is older then my spare. ;)

I still connect to a citadel.

You ran my board for the last year it was online.  If it wasn't for you I
wouldn't have known when it was down.  That's why this is better for me.
