I think it was a quarter but it was over 30 years ago.

"here's a quarter, call someone who cares" :wink:

Someone should have written a song about that :biggrin:

30 yrs ago it was a dime.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

Back on topic, how long before the manufacturers keep control of everything we buy? Simultaneously to this loss of freedom here, Canada is requiring all phones be unlocked. How long will we be content to have our government act as lackeys to these huge monopolies.

Don't you still have a choice to NOT buy a locked phone?

If they want to control your phone, they should lease them ad be responsible for them. Is it my phone, or theirs?

Well if it's like a car lease, they'd charge you for excessive use and cosmetic flaws when you turn it back in.

I would remind folks that all laws on the books are laws of 2013.

Cell phones being locked is far from the most ridiculous law on the books.

Again folks, priorities.

1% of us are locked up, 5% in their 20s, 10% if you are a black male in your 20%. And likely no one from this law. Let's address problems of false imprisonment before we make ANY new laws.

Or thousands of new regulations that no one can be expected to know.
