David Lawrence: Thank you for tuning into the show. 26 minutes before the hour my name is David Lawrence and this is a great radio station, isn*t it? Stay right where you are. We talk computers, online services, the Internet, Mac, PC what have you, lot*s of instant messages that come in throughout the show, lot*s of E-mail. In particular, G.S Thurman, who listens both in Chicago and in Houston says, why don*t they just develop a cell phone that works well, instead of packing them with features like videos and cameras and whatnot. Great question, great question, in fact there are cell phones that crow about the fact that they make good cell calls. And it all has to with the power of the transmitter and the sensitivity of the antenna and the receiver. But I wouldn*t just you know toss cell phone out, because it takes pictures or because it has a PDA associated with it. There are lots and lots of good phones who do make good calls. But yeah if the phone starts to suffer because of features on it, then, yeah that*s the problem. Also he say, by the way, do you know that AOL is going to drop Usenet newsgroups. Yeah, they are going to drop access to Usenet newsgroup, because they have found that so many people are using Google to get to the newsgroups because Google sort of grabs them all from Deja. And so they are just using their browser to get there anyway and that means one last thing that AOL has to deal with. So you know I don*t think there is a reason to leave AOL. I think AOL recognizes that less than a thousand people use Usenet newsgroups every month directly, so who cares. They can get them via Google, they can get them via the web. It*s no faster to go through AOL*s built-in Usenet newsgroup reader and plus AOL was filtering newsgroups. They wouldn*t let the ones that were the most popular, the ones that had illegal music and illegal films and illegal porn pictures and so on, on them. So it became something that was a good thing for them to do and I don*t think it is a reason to leave AOL.
