produced her. (insert your own joke here).

Hey, don't feel so bad. I have a cell, but it is my only phone. No iPod,
no cable TV, and I still listen to music on a Panasonic boom box that I
bought in 1989.
Also, no DVD player except for the one in my computer, which is an aging
collection of free spare parts that should have never come to life, but
somehow did.....
