Yep..  Sticking to DOS is almost to be admired.

It is probably best to keep the radio waves to a minimum around our  
bodies.

Mine is a BlackBerry that the previous owner damgaged at the usb  
connector; it won't charge with the usb cable.  But an external battery  
charger solves the problem. For the first year or so, I only used the BB  
as a handy camera. Only recently, I signed up with one of the "unlimited  
data" cell plans.  So, now I'm using the BB mainly as a mobile hotspot to  
access the data service offered by the cell company.  I'm keeping this  
thing atleast 3 or 4 ft away from me when the radios are turned on.
