I maintain a mostly pre-high-tech life style, but I recently saw a USB
turntable in Costco and bought it to record my old collection of jazz LPs
onto the computer. It came with iTunes software, which is way cool, and
I've loudly hinted to Santa that an iPod and speaker dock would be a very
nifty way to take music with me in my travel trailer.

When Santa found out about the cell phone's sad passing, (s)he mumbled
something about "iPods probably need to be sorted out before washing too."
This worried me because it made me think that Santa might feel I'm not
quite old enough for an iPod yet ( you'll put your eye out? )


I'll let the phone dry but the one that was in my pocket this summer when
I took a hat floating, wader filling, full-Reid still is lifeless months
later.

For whatever reason cell phones don't do so well with a full dunking. We
have had two here at work take swims in the toilet. Both were power on at
the time of the swim, which probably had something to do with the
destruction. Powered off, they might have a chance of revival after thorough
drying?
Pagers on the other hand seem to do fine with a dunking, mine has been in
the lake at least twice and comes back fine after being completely dried
out.

One of my hats being the administrator of the cell phones, I told both
people who's phones had been in the toilet to go ahead and dispose of them
however they wanted. I didn't really care to handle them...
