Reader enjoys the site
Steve writes in, "I enjoyed reading your Mobile Telephone History. My own company, Xilex, was a 'pioneer in the industry' (they said) from circa 1980-1983. My units were the most sophisticated microprocessor-controlled mobile telephones of the day. Our units handled MTS, IMTS, AMTS, IPTS, DTMF, 2-tone, 5-tone, Secode Smart, and some others which I've long forgotten. Well, it was a long time ago. Anyway, thanks for the informative article. And speaking of tone controlled equipment devotees, I am now good friends with the infamous Captain Crunch."
I do different things today. A little work on the site, bill paying, work at my Church, and perhaps a swim in the Auburn River. We'll see. Mark van der Hoek submits the photo below as an example of a cell phone tower fire. I said nonsense, that this was Greece trying to control their Olympic costs by constructing an alternative Olympic torch. :-) Click on this link or the image itself to bring up a bigger picture.
