Another advantage as I see it is its charge holding capacity .. I charge on average once every 12 days to two weeks. My children and grandchildren have to charge their smartphones every night.
5000 posts is the general threshold, before loosing the will to live.

Yes. I'm with you there, Basser, especially the same films over and over.
And another thing - what's the betting this Chirstmas we will have to sit through every old James Bond film all over AGAIN, along with every Harry bloomin' Potter again too!
Aren't new films made any more?

I don't even know where the charger is.
My Dad has one and all his telephone numbers are written on a piece of paper stuffed in the back.
