   I got two calls in a row that I was able to answer, and the second one   
   said that even though it took me several seconds, from her pov, I   
   answered almost immediately.   
      
   And get this, I've gotten two wrong numbers too, on this Skype number,   
   which looks like a standard Baltimore phone number. .   One was an   
   auto-detailer asking if I was still coming in on Saturday, 30 seconds.   
      
   And then 4 hours later, I got a 10 minute message from the same guy,   
   and he's talking to someone else, but somehow he also called me.   A   
   box flashed on the screen so fast I coudln't read it when he called me   
   but I was on the skype-computer-phone with someone else.

   That's bad.   The thing can run down it's battery so quickly. I'm   
   going away for maybe 4 days, from the room I'm renting, and I guess   
   I'm so reliant on the laptop, I'll have to take it, not just the   
   phone.   I brought a real mouse and a full-size keyboard.  Well worth   
   the small effort to bring them.
