Okay, I must be getting old. This afternoon, my wife and I were in Old Navy, and I stopped some hip youngster talking into a handset and asked for a pricecheck. "Wha?! I don't work here!"
I look again, and that kid has a slick looking Nextel in his hand. Damn. I'm loosing it.

But, I guess it was a good bet on Nextel's part. Wow. I thought it was a quick gimmick when it started; I thought it was useful when I saw it deployed by my work; I thought it was a pretentious fad when I saw people using it personally; and I thought it was revolutionary when I saw that Nextel rolled out it's nationwide push-to-talk (PTT) network.

Apparently, even the economists are taking note, now.

Of course, by now, it's too late to jump on that bandwagon, so, wait a few months and SELL SELL SELL!!
