ready to reach out

I have the new internet phone thingy hooked up. It works just like our regular phone service. The only downside (and they don't tell you this until you are connected) is that even for local calls I have to dial the area code. That will take some getting used to.

The plus side is that I can basically go anywhere in the world with my little box and plug it in to highspeed internet. I will then have my home number with me. Neat stuff.

Speaking of neat stuff...I can also set it up to ring different numbers. For instance...I can set it up to have my home line ring but also have my cell phone AND Beck's cell phone ring at the exact same time. Whichever phone is answered will be the one that takes the call. I can also have them ring in order if no one answers at home. It can call my cell, then Beck's, etc, until someone answers one of the numbers. When we go to MN we can just have it ring to BOTH of our cells. Coolio dude.

Okay, okay. I know I am rambling on and on. Hey, you know me...if it is some new techie thing then I like it!

ST off to call myself a bunch of times.
