| 07:51.42 | Leeds | morsing: morning |
| 07:52.13 | morsing | Leeds: How come you still have your UK mobile? |
| 07:56.50 | mozrat | er, and tomorrow |
| 07:56.51 | morsing | Leeds? |
| 07:57.03 | morsing | mozrat: Fun? |
| 07:57.06 | Leeds | why not? |
| 07:57.17 | morsing | Leeds: Money! |
| 07:57.44 | mozrat | morsing: Should be. "Introduction to Linux" to drag my colleagues up to bare minimum standard on non-Windows systems |
| 07:58.45 | Leeds | morsing: when I signed up for a new contract, they gave me enough of a rebate (in place of a new phone) that it's going to cost me almost nothing to keep the phone for another year |
| 07:59.01 | morsing | Leeds: But 25 years? |
| 07:59.08 | morsing | Why not change now? |
| 07:59.11 | Leeds | 25 years? |
| 07:59.14 | morsing | Yes |
| 07:59.22 | Leeds | what are you talking about? |
| 08:00.06 | morsing | Leeds: You say it's cheap enough for one or two years but what about after 10, 20 or 30 years? |
| 08:00.41 | Leeds | well, you know - there's nothing stopping me from cancelling it next year... or the year after... |
| 08:01.11 | Leeds | I was going to move it to a PAYG, but they offered almost a year's rental as a rebate when I asked |
| 08:01.18 | mozrat | or in the next decade |
| 08:01.30 | mozrat | morsing: whose going to keep their mobile for the next 25 years? |

| 08:01.45 | mozrat | my grammer is terrible |
| 08:01.50 | morsing | mozrat: Me - except it's a company phone |
| 08:03.29 | mozrat | You won't have the same handset in 25 years |
| 08:03.43 | mozrat | kids of the next generation will laugh at your antique phone |
| 08:03.45 | Leeds | I don't use it very much, but I've had the number for about 7 years, over 3 networks, and if it's going to cost me a minimal amount, I'd prefer to keep it and be able to use it in the UK |
| 08:04.04 | Leeds | mozrat: much like locals here laugh at a phone as big and backwards as the 6230 :-) |
| 08:04.13 | mozrat | :) |
| 08:04.22 | morsing | My phone is a 6250! |
| 08:04.42 | mozrat | i have one blackberry as my phone and a SIM with no decent handset |
| 08:05.07 | Leeds | I have a Treo as my phone, a K700 with my UK SIM in it, and a T610 as a backup |

| 08:13.42 | morsing | I got irssi to automatically go to freenode now but it won't automatically join channels :-( |
| 08:43.16 | mozrat | Leeds: either |
| 08:43.32 | mozrat | SotD is an excellent film |
