great read. My cell phone went belly up in June. I ended up spending a week without and loved the experience so much I delayed buying a new one for a another month. Once I got the new one, I was receiving less calls as others had gotten used to not reaching me. Its been great.

I hope to make it a lifetime habit soon enough...hopefully I won't have to acquire as many karma points as Stallman or Knuth to reach this level. ;)
