Electronic Warefare Suite

I was outprocessing at the hospital today and had to get weighed.  I emptied out my pockets to jump on the scale and the tech said  "Wow, you have the oldest phone I have ever seen."  Awesome.... As you can tell I don't camp out overnight to buy iPhones.  I might be out of step with the kids these days.

When we moved from England to Virginia in 2010 I promised myself I would keep my American life simple by avoiding outlandish electronics purchases.  I have been unsuccessful in all areas except apparently my phone.  My electronic warfare suite now consists of a Blackberry (government issued), a Kindle, an iPad, a new camera, and a new TV.  We also upgraded my wife's Apple.  So much for electronic simplicity.  I'll have some great product reviews after I drag those things around in the mountains for a year.
