Re: Cell phone is 30 years old today!
HA! Aside from my first cell phone being big enough to club a child with, it lasted forever and worked really well. The last three phones I've had have had some sort of tech problem within the first year.

Let's just say that some years ago someone invented some kind of cell phone. Accurate enough for me.
