From that page: The 4cm sq unit, which can be concealed in a child's clothing, will be able to track the precise location of the child to within five feet using the global positioning satellite tracking system (GPS) more usually used to navigate at sea.

This is good I suppose but strikes me as kinda spooky too! At least they don't implant them under the poor kiddo's skin like they do with microchips for pets (yet!). Kinda reminds me of some of the movies I've seen over the last few years... creepy stuff to think someone could monitor you no matter where you went.

<serious> Huh? You think they can't? Wake up and smell the hummus. The stuff you see in e.g. Enemy of the State - your government HAS this capability. More 'personal' monitoring - of your house and what you are doing in it - this technology IS available in the shops (and online).</serious>

It's only a matter of time before this kind of system will become affordable - then you can track not only where your kid is, but who they are with. All you need then is the GPS satellite with offensive capabilities and you can incinerate any boyfriends you don't think your daughter should be mixing with.

LOL, here is another perfect example of getting off the subject. But, I'll have to say, yes, that technology does exist to this day. And more than that.

We are gunna miss you, keep in touch on these boards. Or play Toontown again, when you get a chance!

OOps - was there a subject?

Well, we never had the chance to meet [I'm a noob to the game ] so best wishes and hope you love your cell phone!!
Here's a bit of advice, watch those minutes...they add up before you know it. Trust me
Personally, I don't use my cell phone much. I should use it more...I charge it up, then the only time I need it is when the battery is about to die. Just my luck

[Fluffy Green]

Eeeeeevil cell phones (or mobiles, for our non north american friends).

If you plan on using it alot (and somehow, I know this will be the case ), get a plan with big chunks of free time (weeknights and weekends).

Have fun out there.

[Loosy Goosy]

Bongo, I'm sure you can find a neighbor who would pay you $10 a month for washing their car or mowing their lawn. That way you can have your cell and TT too. Looks like you're getting closer to the age when you'll be providing for yourself anyway, may as well start getting used to it

[Pinks]

My kids don't have cell phones, they don't NEED them. They are lucky enough to have game cube and play it on a big screen t.v., i remember Atari. Ping Pong! OMG! LOL I guess if talking on your own phone is more fun that blowin up cogs though, that's your choice. As far as that KidBug thing, I LIKE it! I know some of you are disgusted by the idea of big brother being implanted under your skin like a microchipped pup, but I would do it! I've often thought that similar device for kids would be perfect. When they are out of the house and living on their own, they can go get it removed. The KidBug thing is just a wristwatch, and can be removed by whatever freak grabs them...but an implantation...oooo...we'll have an dalmation plantation I say! Oops, wrong movie

[Bongo Da Rancher]

Thanks for all the support.... Yes i will need lots o "gags" i will be on it all the time. lol

Why, when I was a kid, we used tin cans and string for doing the same thing. A lot cheaper, and we got tired of it long before the batteries ran out.

I used to do that, too. I even went as far as engineering extensions onto the line (it really worked! 4 cans: 2 connected straight, and 2 with strings that taps into the main string on one end). Ah, the good ol' days.

If its to call home then a pre-paid calling card cell plan maybe best.

Yep. I use one of those. They're way cheaper because you don't have to pay line rent, and you only need to make top-ups every 3 months or so to keep the line active. At least, that's the way my line provider works.

make sure your phone has a silent mode so you can receive calls but not disturb everyone with a ring.

Yep. Or a vibrator mode. But I silent mode is best, though. That way you won't get any shocking surprises during class (Someone in my class at college likes playing this nasty prank in which he would dial a random classmate's number and make their phone ring once or twice. And once he got me while my Motorola was in vibrator mode, and I let out a loud yelp (the phone was in a pocket in my pants that was really near my... you know... when it vibrated :P). Really embarassing, and I leave my phones in true silent mode since.

Eeeeeevil cell phones (or mobiles, for our non north american friends).

Well, I don't really care about what I call it. Sometimes I call them cellphones, other times I call them mobile phones, but I personally refer to them as PHSes (from what I know, PHS means Personal Handyphone System, which I think is what Japanese people call their cells/mobiles)

Here's a bit of advice, watch those minutes...they add up before you know it.

Agreed. And try not to message too much or use WAP, either. Especially WAP - since you're using the Internet on your cellphone (yes, it's true. Internet on a tiny monochrome screen. Really convenient, but pricey), it can really rake up the bill (or drain your credits if you're on prepaid).

Trust me Personally, I don't use my cell phone much. I should use it more...I charge it up, then the only time I need it is when the battery is about to die. Just my luck

That happens to me all the time.

I thought you were grounded for two weeks with no computer...

[Jezabel]

IMHO we should boycot folks who play test for free! and don't pay for LE. When you cancel your LE account Disney doesn't have it quite together enough to also cancel your test accounts so folks are playing toontown for free. Sorry. This makes me mad. If I know of anyone playing for free this way I won't play with them.
