And yes, Dilbert is becoming too much like Dogbert - too arrogant! I hope he is brought back down to size soon.

This makes no sense to me as someone outside the United States. Why wouldn't your home phone be a landline?
In England where I am currently, it's free for most landlines to call most other landlines. Calling cellphones costs a fortune. Am I to believe that in the USA, calling a landline and a cellphone costs the same amount for the caller?
Maybe I'm cheap, but when someone gives me a cellphone number to call and no landline, I get a tad cross with them as it's going to cost a ton to ring them. Maybe that's why I'm still single as well! :-)

Amen, sittnick! It's great to see that I'm not the only one who notices how cell phones have made life worse. LIsten to the terrible sound quality of cell phones compared to land lines. Sometimes you can barely understand customers or friends. This never used to be a problem. The problem is there for everyone to hear when you listen to callers on a radio talk show. Just understanding people is a drain on your mental energy that never used to be there. Sound quality has taken a huge step backwards with cell phones. So much for the advance of technology.

And I'm so sick of seeing my co-workers and bosses stop their work to gab or text on their cell phones. It seems like at any given time half the people around me are suddenly on their cell phones instead of working. Constantly repeating themselves or asking the person to whom they're talking to repeat themselves. Running outside or to a window for better reception. And the floor is littered with recharger lines like a mine field.

This is what technology has brought us to. Well, I don't care what Scott or the rest of you think. I'm never giving up my land line. And I'm still in the White Pages! Remember those?
