Our Cell Phones
Perfect for us
We went through many phones and settled on the iPhone becase it is so easy to use, integrates so well with the PC's/Mac's at home and has great coverage.
An iPhone functions as a camera phone, including text messaging and visual voicemail, a portable media player, and an Internet client, with e-mail, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard rather than a physical one. Third-party applications are available from the App Store, which launched in mid-2008 and now has well over 300,000 "apps" approved by Apple. These apps have diverse functionalities, including games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, security and advertising for television shows, films, and celebrities.
We have a pair so we can talk to each other although we are seldom apart. The manual is large but works well.

This is the projector we use in the front room for the occasional time
we look at the Television. It is hooked up to the A/V equipment
located in our hall closet through a master remote control device. .
Television is not our favorite thing to do!

Router Linksys Cable/DSL Router With Four Ports BEFSR41
How does the Router do all of this? Linksys Owners Manual
By connecting your computers and peripherals to the Router and connecting the Router to your cable or DSL modem, then the Router can direct and control communications for your network. Specifications
But what does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools for sharing
Internet access and computer resources. Multiple computers can share
Internet access, so you don't need more than one high-speed Internet
connection. You can access one printer
from different computers and access data located on another computer's
hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games.
So, networks not only are useful in homes and offices, but also can be
fun.
PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are
connected with Ethernet cables, which is
why the network is called "wired".
