Pegasus News http://atu.ca/ed6f
Ex-Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott is selling his first
cell phone on eBay http://atu.ca/VinnieCell
The phone is an old Motorola "Startrac" model from the
early '90s and is supposedly a birthday gift from -- sniff
sniff -- Dimebag. The auction, which ends on January 19,
has a video of Vinnie explaining that he doesn't need the
money, he just thought someone might enjoy the novelty of
owning it.

I had one of those back in the late 1990s. They make great doorstops
and could be used as a hammer. They were analog phones which pretty
much precludes using them in today's world. Unless you need a hammer or
a doorstop! | | |

This isn't a "for sale" newsgroup, and the post violates eBay rules.

Why should WE care? eBay's rules and the enforcement thereof are eBay's
problem!

Didn't your mother ever tell you that being a tattletale won't endear
you to
your playmates?
