1. How long have you had a cell phone? (If you don't have one, why not? What would prompt you to get one?)
I had a cell phone for a while in 1997 and dropped the subscription. I got a new one in 2002 and have had one since then.
2. How much do you use it?
Maybe once every couple of days.
3. Do you get jittery without it?
No. But I probably should, or at least feel its absence, in case the school nurse is trying to reach me or something like that.
Computers
1. How many computers in your house? One.
2. How much time do you spend on the computer in a day?
Varies. If it's a work day, between work and home I'm probably on the computer seven or eight hours.
3. How does the time break down?
Home computer use: One part personal email, one part home business, two parts blogs/ blogging/ surfing.
4. If your computer malfunctions, do you-
1. Log in as root and fix the problem in a few swift keystrokes?
Who's root?
2. Get some online help and fix it yourself with slightly slower keystrokes?
Once in a while, mostly if my connection is acting up.
3. Enlist outside help? from whom? How does he or she respond when you ask for assistance?
Nope.
4. Opt for the wishful thinking computer repair strategy, also known as the reboot-with-fingers-crossed strategy?
I do this before I turn to option 2.
Meta
1. What techno-gadget would you most like to own?
A DSLR.
2. Of those you own (including PDA, iPod, etc.), which would you miss most acutely if you dropped it in the lake accidentally while canoeing?
My digital camera (I have a point-and-shoot right now.)
3. What's something you'll never buy?
Gigantic television.
