Mmmm, but pagers still need to work in hospitals.

I think the soultion isn't to hamstring the technology, but those without the manners.

But how? if people simply haven't the manners to follow the instructions that say "TURN OFF YOUR MOBILE PHONES" - sheesh, there's
only one word of more than one syllable in that - what else can be done? Hel's tits, I smoke. But I respect the "NO SMOKING" signs. I try hard not to smoke around people who have problems with it. I acknowledge I have an antisocial, unpleasant habit, and I try to minimise people's exposure to it. If I can do it with one of the most addicting drugs known, why the hell can't people do it with their damn technology?
