Phones
Ok I'm going off topic... 
Jan, there are a lot of phones nowadays that are wifi-enabled. I have a "smart" phone, but I only pay $10 a month for it. I get unlimited calls and texts, and I have no data unless I'm near wifi. Since I have wifi at home and work, I essentially get unlimited data 95% of the time, with no overage charges or throttling.
I honestly didn't think I would use data all that much, but now there are so many things I can get done via the internet without having to leave my home. (For instance, I now do all my banking - pay bills, make deposits, etc - via my phone.) When my laptop crashed, it was really nice having another device that could access internet and email until I could buy a new laptop.

Not sure what you mean by "the selector". I clicked the link QuiltnNan provided, scrolled down, and there it was. And the article was posted on Oct 26th, so it should have been included in the date range you provided.

Peckish, thanks for the link to Barbara's post. Some of those goofs are hilarious, and made me lol. Makes a common quilter feel better about her own mistakes, doesn't it? We all make them. I'm just glad none of mine got published, like some of those!
