G Whiz

People of a certain age will remember when GGG or Three Gs meant a good suit of clothes. Now, of course, it means something so technical I couldn't begin to explain it.

But I can't help noticing all the advertising extolling a 4G network over a 3G network. With 4Gs you get two pair of pants? Or a vest?

We have very simple cell phones. They take and make calls and occasionally I text. No exotic apps, no missed or dropped calls. Only problem is the batteries don't last very long. We seem to be charging them quite often.

I complained to Verizon Wireless and they said they'd send us new batteries. I'm waiting. I hope they haven't dropped the mail.
