At least they were easy to ignore. And worked pretty darn good as alarm clocks!

I'd toss my cell in the Pacific if I had my way.
No privacy, no "getting away" my flipping cell rings off the hook and I hate it.

I do realize they are very helpful to people that need to check e-mails, send e-mails,
check the web, etc. for work when on the move.
IMO - if I'm not at work, I really dont want to hear about work.

Granted, if I owned my own biz, I'm sure my opinion would differ.
I have my own business and need to check up on things every once in a wile when away from the office.

But only 2 or 3 of my best clients have my cell number. If I'm away from work and get a call on my cell, it's either friends, family or the top of my client list.

The rest of 'em can get me on my land line or leave a voicemail.
