these going to appeal to aside from dealers?

dealers.

I guess so. I'd like to think the people who invented the
concept had some legitimate reasons that it might be a
viable product. I suppose if you had only a land-line, and
no cell phone, and were planning a trip which might require
a wireless means of communication, maybe you'd get one of
these instead of signing up for a cellphone plan? Everyone I
know either has a land-line and a cell line, or they simply
use their cell as their main line.

Maybe its for the parents who want little Sally to have a
phone at the concert this Friday, but don't think she needs
a permanent cell phone plan? Stuff like that?

they're great for making really nasty phone calls to random
strangers

I wish a particular random stranger would make a
really nasty call to me...

another forgotten demographic are those who simply don't
have the reliable income to get a monthly contract with some
carrier. its especially economical when one only needs a
phone for emergency reasons.

All those illegal aliens must be the reason. They love to
buy prepaid phone credit cards. Probably would be good for
them since they have no valid ID

We're all illegal aliens, unless your jewish Italian
grandfather evolved from a mollusc sat on the rocks round
the base of the Statue of Liberty.

i had a dream that we were on the trans siberian railway
about 4 months ago, going to china i guess?

It was China, yes, I still have your book, 3 years after
thinking I'd send it. It might be easier to hand it to you
on the trans siberian on the astral plane.

Everyone knows, as a security measure, Ronald McDonald

acaso alguien quiera entrar por medidas de proyección

tonight. don't send the book, my spanish is hopeless and i'd
sooner strangle myself than get through a full novel now
that i'm so out of it.

wendys
