If you still have use for a land line, check out Verizon's "home
connect" service. It's a little black box like a wi-fi router that has a
cellular radio along with electronics to drive regular POTS (err..
standard home) phones. Only $20/mo unlimited national calling, or if you
have cell service with them and want to share minutes it's only $10/mo.
Killer bargain, and good sound quality. Supposedly uses older equipment
on the towers that's under utilized. Few extra bucks for them, cheap
service, and screw the competition.

HuhHuh, I taught myself raw f***** 6502 on nearly bare metal machine
code (NO, not assembler, my 'rents and high school wouldn't drop $50 on
it) in high school in the early 80s to code video games fast enough to
run on an Apple ][. Breakout in 1536 bytes. And had a PDP 11/35 in Mom's
basement in the mid 80s. Bare metal? Toggle 12 words on the switches,
reset address, and hit the run button.
