Sep. 16th, 2005 01:07 pm1. Who is your mobile phone provider, and how many minutes are in your plan?
T-mobile. We have some sort of family plan but I never even come close to using it up. I've had the same phone # since 1997 - I got it as a prepaid phone through long defunct Omnipoint as that's all my credit would allow then.
2.What program do you primarily use for instant messaging?
Trillian - mostly because work recommended it. But I rarely IM.
3. Who do you send and receive text messages from most?
I really prefer e-mail.
4. What area code do you live in?
201. But my cell phone has a 917 area code as I lived on Staten Island when I got it.
5. What year did you first get an e-mail address and do you still use it?
Hmmm. I go way back with e-mail, my college had e-mail on campus starting from 1980 (but not to the outside world). My first pay account was Peoplelink in 1984 or 1985. Then I had a Compuserve one for work around 1990 - and a pay one in 1993 or so. But my longest lasting e-mail is lesliepearson@juno.com - I opened it way back in 1997 - still use it for some mailing lists. Then I got AOL when they went to monthly unlimited rates - I chose lesliepear@aol.com. I no longer use AOL, but have kept lesliepear as a "nom-de-internet" since then.
(Decided not to friends this one - I figure I've had that e-mail address almost 8 years now and it's out and about anyway.)

Seriously:
First lady Laura Bush said Friday that young children should learn their full names, addresses and parents' names to speed up reunions after disasters like Hurricane Katrina or anytime a child is lost.
Bush told the story of a 5-year-old boy found walking on Interstate 10 in New Orleans who knew his name, address, mother's name and the name of his church.
"So that's a very good reminder to all of us that we need to teach our children as soon as they can talk," she said during a visit to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which set up a special Katrina hot line with retired law enforcement officers working the phones.
I probably need to teach Alan this info.
