Err, umm, this last week. I'm in a place where cell coverage=20
(AT&T, Verizon has a better reputation) is spotty and internet=20
is a dream due to a noisy land line. I needed to find a ceramic=20
tile store. The paper yellow pages had survived being left in=20
the driveway in the rain and I used it.

However, I agree that this is the <2% case for many parts of the world.

Cheers - Bill
