My cell phone carrier texts me today: "This Mother's Day, call your mom (on THIS NEW iPhone - and save)," with a link to the advertisement.
The carrier has hit on a compelling sales pitch. I would pay well for a new iPhone on which I could call Venerable Mom Laquedem, if she would answer. I can speak to her -- she occupies a handsome brass container above my fireplace -- but it's been several years since she last talked back.
