Five years! People thought I was crazy. And the one after that? Five more years. My new one is still a dumbphone (that's what they call it these days, as opposed to a Samsung smartphone) but I'm hapy with it. I can call, text and receive phone calls. And that's all I ever need it for. Thanks for that wonderful poem. :-)<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-80396303890989890622012-12-15T15:51:00.000+00:002012-12-15T15:51:00.000+00:00My thanks to all those who have wished me well, he...My thanks to all those who have wished me well, health-wise. It is nothing serious, something I have had since I was 5, so an old enemy, and as is often the case with old enemies, we have become old friends in that we know each other so well.<br />I am feeling much better today, have managed to post and visit all your blogs, but am now signing out.<br /><br />And thank you all for your comments on the old technologies.
