re: #479 Kragar

Think about how many movies from the 60’s 70’s and 80s would have gone differently if someone had a cell phone.

In 1989 I was in South San Francisco at a hotel making appointment calls the moment of the earthquake. Knowing my wife back in L.A. would be very worried I grabbed a little cash and went out and found a couple cars with phone antennas. Cash in hand offering $20 plus dinner I knocked on doors and asked to make a call. 3 for 3 were freaking posers, antenna but no phone. I gave up.
