Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 06, 2013

Hey, my camera has a phone, too!

To quote George Takei: Oh my!

Smart phone was asked to do one too many stupid things and committed suicide.

It had a stroke and died. It’s life flashed before it’s eyes, and then it went towards the light.

Microsoft buys Nokia.

Is that anything like drowning?You’re life flashing before your eyes before it’s over.

You can still party, just get with all those with whom you would have listened in.Failing that, you’ve still got us.

Not me! I hated that…everyone else listening in on the coversations…yuck! My mom & grandma used to start talking in Danish – that would get everyone else off the line…lol

It’s life flashed before it’s eyes. RIP Janis’ phone :)

No kidding…not many people around that still remember them!

National Secreepity Agency.

Reads instructions?Nah

That does sound good if you are in the business of selling smart phones.

Arlo is so techie! Always helpful, very impressive.

That’s so funny! I hate when I call Tech support and they don’t know any more than I do. (not always the case thankfully) At least the phone let Janis see her pictures one last time.

I would rather just go back to the old fashioned land line minus the party line aspect. I’ve never been on a party line and wouldn’t want to be on one either. Some people are too nosy for their own good. As for Janis’ phone, it probably just needs to be charged.

yes those were good times….do I listen in on the conversation until the line is clear?? or not…

When I was very young, a classmate was visiting, and picked up the phone to call her mom. A conversation was already in progress, and the girl listened in. Pretty soon she was laughing, and my mom had to get on the phone and apologize.

It’s an omen, your life flashes before your eyes, you see your family and friends and loved ones before you———DIE!!!!!!

It could be anything from a virus (yes there are cell phone and tablet viruses) to a hardware malfunction. Good luck having someone diagnose it right. Backup, people, backup.

The Smartphone version of the Blue-Screen of Death! Happened to my lap-top a month ago…but life does go on…

Have you tried putting a youngster in front of a rotary phone? Hilarious.

Maybe it was just a near death experience.

Don’t go into the light!!

I hate calling tech support only to find out they know less than I do about it. I even had one ask me to call him bad if I found an answer.

“I’ve had phones die. "-I had a phone drown.Brought it back to life but not before replacing it with a new one.My wife is using the baptised phone but thinking of switching to smarter phone soon.

I remember those days – they were much different for sure – not sure about how much simpler!
