 On Oct. 20, 2008, in a test to see if text messaging or morse
 code can send a message the fastest, The Tonight Show with
 Jay Leno has two young guys and two old guys pair up sending
 the same message.  Click on the above source, or 'HERE' for
 my copy, to see who was fastest.

 NOTE: the old guy was using a "bug" (just requires a side
 wise tap) rather than pressing a key.  But that's what the
 they used "in the old days" if they were good.  A good
 operator could carry a line or so of code in his head before
 transmitting.

Subj:     The Bat Phone (S746)
          From: ezines@arcamax.com on 4/27/2011

 Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry's first encounter with the
 "bat phone" didn't go as planned, reports The Shawnee Star.
 The phone, which is used strictly for emergencies and
 connects the state and the Department of Homeland Security,
 rang unexpectedly one night.

 "Suddenly I hear a shrill, loud noise.  It scared me half
 to death," Henry says. "And then I realize the 'bat phone'
 is ringing!  Now I'm in a panic because it must be a matter
 of national security."

 Henry lifted the receiver of the ominous phone.  Was it the
 President on the other end?

 "It was a telemarketer," said Henry.

 wonderful new tools.

 I don’t generally forward this type of information even though
 it’s for the public good.  But after seeing the video, you
 will have learned to use the speaker feature on cell phones.
 Over ten years this may save your life.  Look at the video
 and read the web page, please.

Subj:     Free 411 On Cell Phones (S526c)
          From: darrell94590 on 2/15/2007

 Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more
 for 411 information calls when they don't have to.  Most of
 us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which
 makes this situation even more of a problem.

 When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial
 1 (800) FREE 411, or 1 (800) 373-3411 without incurring any
 charge at all!

 Snopes.com verifies this is correct at
 http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/free411.asp

 Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste
 your time manually dialing the number.  I am driving along
 in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't
 know the number.  I hit the speed dial for information that
 I have programmed.

 Dial: 1-800-goog411.  This is an awesome service from
 Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road.

 The voice at the other end says, "City & State."  I say,
 "Garland, Texas."  He says, "Business, Name or Type of
 Service."  I say, Firewheel Golf Course."  He says,
 "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone.  How great
 is that?  This is nationwide and it is absolutely free!

Subj:     The Truth About GOOG411 (S618b)
          Posted by Garett Rogers
          By Juan Perez on 11/11/08
 Source: http://www.infoworld.com/archives/emailPrint.jsp?R=print
.........This&A=/article/07/10/23/Google-wants-your-phonemes_1.html

 Google’s free 411 service (1-800-GOOG-411) lets you find
 and call local businesses, but the service isn’t exactly
 as it seems.  On the surface, it looks pretty straight
 forward, but spending lots of money advertising a service
 that has no clear potential to make money should have seemed
 a bit suspicious.

 In reality, Google’s 411 service is about training a powerful
 speech-to-text engine that will one day find itself in things
 like video search.  The more sample audio they have (people
 looking for businesses), the more accurate their system will
 become. Marissa Mayer did an interview with Infoworld in
 October where she explains what GOOG-411 is really all about.

 Marissa Mayer by clicking on the above source.

Subj:     Cell Phone Info (S491c)
          From: jtgalvan on 6/16/2006

 Here is something worth knowing if you have a mobile phone.

 Have you ever wondered why phone companies don't seem interested
 in trying to prevent the theft of mobile phones?  If you have
 ever lost, or had one stolen, and if you are on a plan, you
 still have to pay the plan approximately up to 24 months, and
 you have to go buy another handset and enter into another
 contract. This is more revenue for the phone company.

 There is a simple way of making lost or stolen mobiles useless
 to thieves and the phone companies know about it, but keep it
 quiet.

 To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following
 on your phone.  star-hash-zero-six-hash ( * # 0 6 # ) and a
 fifteen digit code will appear on the screen.  This is unique to
 your handset.  Write it down and keep it safe.  Should your
 mobile phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and
 give them this code.  They will then be able to block your
 handset, so even if the thief changes the sim card, your phone
 will be totally useless.

 You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know
 that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.

 If everybody did this, there would be no point in stealing
 mobile phones.

 Gayle checked this article at Snopes.com at
 http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/celltheft.asp
 which says it is partially true.  Thanks Gayle for the info.

 No charge for directory assistance

 Phone companies are charging us $1.00 or more for 411 -
 information calls when they don't have to.

 When you need to use the 411 / information option, simply dial
 1-800-FREE-411 or 1 800 373 3411 without incurring a charge.

Subj:     Cell Phone For Seniors (S705) 
          From: tom on 7/19/2010
Drawing from SouthTownStar.com
 Source: http://www.thelaughline.com/2010/07/cell-phone-for-seniors/

 This might not mean anything if you are under 40 or there-
 abouts, but back in the day, we didn’t have the convenience
 of push button digital phones.  Oh no – we had those lovely
 rotary dial phones, and it took forever to dial a number,
 especially if the phone or your finger slipped, and you
 mis-dialled.  Because it had NO auto-redial – you had to do
 it manually.  Also there was NO address book – except the
 one you wrote in with your pen.  And NO voicemail or text –
 if you missed a call.

 In honor of the phones of yesteryear, here is a phone that
 us seniors (or at least us old enough to remember) can
 identify with…  Click on the above source, or 'HERE' for my
 copy, to see this very cute picture.
