11205. Magoseph - 8/26/2004 8:49:47 AM I found the above graphic I don't know where now. Do you like it? 11206. anomie - 8/26/2004 9:29:50 AM I like it. Is it a fractile? 11207. Macnas - 8/26/2004 3:47:58 PM Fractal, some people use them as screen savers, lord help us.
VOIP = voice over IP, where your handset is assigned an IP number and acts as a device on a data network, like any PC. It makes for a very efficient system, especially when moving from office to office, as taking your number with you is simple.
It has just occurred to me that Pelle is the qualified person to answer that query.
11208. PelleNilsson - 8/26/2004 5:43:47 PM There are may providers of VoIP and also many service levels. What you need to do, anomie, if you intend to scrap your ordinary telephony subscription is to make sure that your VoIP service allows you to call and receive calls to/from all other phones in the world. If you don't prefer to sit with a headset in front of the PC you should also ensure that you can hook your current phone(s) into the cable modem.
I'm fairly sure that VoIP will be cheaper than using the cellphone.
11209. anomie - 8/26/2004 5:52:39 PM Macnas, Pelle, Thanks for the VOIP info, and the spelling.
I've also heard of another onling phone service called Vonage. I'll check them out.
My cell phone is covered by the job and is good anywhere in the U.S. I have a card for the few international calls I make. 11210. anomie - 8/26/2004 5:54:07 PM Neato and I are finding wierd links in our posts over in Childhood, and I'm getting pop-ups at the Mote homepage. Anyone know what's up with this? 11211. neato - 8/26/2004 6:10:58 PM I'M not finding them! 11212. anomie - 8/26/2004 6:39:09 PM Sorry, Neato. I assumed everyone could see them. Perhaps it's just me. And the links go to a slide projector shopping place. Very strange. 11213. anomie - 8/26/2004 6:40:06 PM And there it is again, each time I type in thise two words. 11214. PelleNilsson - 8/26/2004 7:11:56 PM I saw a sure sign of autumn today -- Donegal crabs. 11215. Macnas - 8/26/2004 7:31:52 PM Give them back ye thieving vikings. 11216. PelleNilsson - 8/26/2004 8:13:08 PM You don't get them in your place? Of course you do. 11217. Macnas - 8/26/2004 8:49:18 PM What? Crabs? I never. 11218. PsychProf - 8/27/2004 1:48:35 AM Mac...I understand the Vikings humour as a result of my visit to your fine country. 11219. jayackroyd - 8/27/2004 2:25:24 AM 11210
I'm an early Vonage adopter. It's worked out quite well. I've reduced my monthly cell minutes, cutting my cell rate in half, and pay 24.99 for 500 minutes of LD and unlimited regional calling. It's on a DSL, and so I had to buy a verizon line--which is okay; I use that as my home number and the Vonage line as my business. On a cable modem you
Simple to set up. You get a Cisco box that you plug into your broadband connection and into your phone. 11220. jayackroyd - 8/27/2004 2:26:56 AM On a cable you.....
could get rid of your Baby Bell entirely. 11221. Ms. No - 8/27/2004 3:37:22 AM I looked at Vonage but when I realized I'd have to have a DSL provider as well as Vonage I skipped it. I still haven't decided how I want to be connected at home.
Currently I'm using my cell-phone as my only phone. 11222. Ms. No - 8/27/2004 3:40:05 AM I've made a somewhat disturbing discovery.
My favorite scent at Bath and Body Works is being discontinued --- actually, it's already been discontinued.
Bergamot Corriander.
Now, it's upsetting enough to find that I won't be able to get the product that I want in future, but perhaps even more disturbing is the news that it was discontinued because it was unpopluar.
This works out to mean that most other people think I stink.
11223. judithathome - 8/27/2004 4:18:21 AM Not me...I love that stuff! Look for sales later in the year when they clear out everything they've discontinued in the past.
I have a new, never opened bottle of Body Spray and half a bottle of body lotion that I'll happily send to you if you send me your address. Might have some shower gel, too... 11224. Ms. No - 8/27/2004 4:42:03 AM In the Bergamot Corriander???? Really???
You're the coolest ever! Do you use any of their other scents? I've got some body washes and lotions that are nice but don't really suit me so I've never used them.
I'm coming to Dallas at Thanksgiving and we could trade then. (You know, no trip to Texas is complete without a visit with you and Keoni!)
