MAGID ON TECH: Touch phones need dial pad to be effective

Call me old-fashioned, but when it comes to making phone calls, I like buttons. Not virtual buttons and preferably not teeny-weeny PDA-size buttons.

The best phones in new ex generation for you.

Save Your Money, Buying smart may mean not buying!

The next three generations have been box, the next born and the 3rd on the drawing board. The technology industry is just wringing out your money on outdated phones and other tech objects to be first on your block....

No sooner has Apple or HP or Intel... unveils and clears up the problems, it unveils another "goodie" with more problems and then...! Don't be oblivious: you know the technology drill by now, I hope!

Use only the bells and whistles that you really need and keep your discretionary income in your pocket. There is a blight that impairs and destroys your options a comin' unless you save your money and cut the "Jones' loose!"

Jack, how about this: true green equates to NOT buying. I love airheads that pose green, yet run around buying every prop that supports their pseudo position of saving the environment. They know that buying crap to replace stuff that works fine is the greatest environmental threat ever.

I love the old ladies from the '30's. Now these know a little about prudence.
