A few days later, it fell out of my pocket, into the river. . .no insurance. . .3 days later, still not dry and not working. . .went back to AT&T and updated my second phone for another $100 (added insurance and a special water resistant holder for another $50). A couple of days later, my old laptop died with absolutely no warning!! Another one hour trip to the big city to buy a new laptop-what an expensive summer this has been!!!! But-I'm back on line!!!!
