No cellin'

The Defective Yeti says:

Just for the record, I, Matthew Baldwin, as of 7:30 AM, May 04, 2005, still do not own a cell phone.

I want to document this fact in case, at some future point, there's a dispute about who exactly was the last person on Earth to acquire one.

He's got some formidable competition, then. I don't have a cell phone because I hate talking on the phone, period. No way will I carry a portable one that's liable to ring at me anytime, anywhere.

(**shudder**)

The very thought of it gives me the willies.
