Thing-tones

As much as I hate to admit it, I have a mobile talking device, aka a cellular telephone (aka a cell phone). Which got me to thinking...we're all serious progger, right? Better than the rest of those musically knuckle draggin louts, eh? Okay, that might be taking it a little far...

Still, we must admit that our musical tastes are somewhat removed from the standard top of the pops. Therefore...what do you have as your cell tone? I've only just discovered how to make them work on my device; now I subsribe to a thingy called "British Invasion." For whatever reason, there is no Tull available there, but there is Yes (although why I can't say). Anyway, I have Kashmir by Led Zep. You?

	My first mobile many moons ago was the size of a house brick, a friend programmed it to play a "casio tunes" version of Grendel It sounded AWFUL! Later I have had phones that play all sorts of things, now that phones play mp3 I guess you can get them to play whatever the hell you want............. Technologically speaking though, we are trying to make life simpler, we have the most basic of basic mobiles and they both (horror of horror) play the sound of a phone ringing when the ring............... it's the only way to hear them, music just dissapears into background noise when you are in the shopping centre, or in the car..... "Brrring Brrring.....Brrring Brrring....." it's the only way to go really! P-C
