Untethered - 40 Years of 'Wired' Comes to an End

Wow! It's hard not to feel a little exposed now that we have terminated ThunderRidge wire line services from Telus. We've been putting this off for several years even though the termination saves us almost $4,500 per annum.  Perhaps this is because we're both 'digital immigrants' and couldn't imagine ourselves without a wired phone.  Or may be its because the toll free line (1.800.268.5569) helped us build virtually every business since we were married.

I'm kind of sad to see the services and the grey phones go, but that's just nostalgia. What finally drove us to make the move was the realization that we had far too many mail boxes/phone numbers to manage and we were almost never near the wire line when people tried to contact us. Janice and I, both use our Samsung Galaxies (August, 2012) to do almost everything. I guess you could say that we are both finally 'Untethered.

The times, they are a' changing!
