You guessed wrong. He also uses it as a scanner, but he makes very few calls and only to our land line at home.

He also doesn't have a driver's licence. Most time he gets to and from UVic by using his student card as a bus pass, or by walking like some of our neighbour's children do. Most times he needs a ride home to save time for studying or homework he calls us using one of the on campus internet phones that replaced the pay phones during the TELUS strike in 2005. The on campus pay phones stopped working during the strike when they filled up with coins and TELUS management never came around to empty them. UVic decided to work around the issue by installing no charge internet phones to replace the pay land line phones for local calls. Isn't technology grand?

Our oldest son is finishing his PhD (also fully funded) and has never had a DL. His sister got one because getting around Cape Cod without an auto is impractical. Your kids may vary. She made sure a Mass Spec would fit in back.
