Thanks troll.... I know not all of them are poor, but I had doubts about things like towers, reception, etc., in such mountainous terrain. I mean, there's still places in Tennessee where my high-powered tri-mode phone won't work. So I guess it sort of surprised me that they would work over there, after seeing pictures of Afghanistan in the news & stuff...

'Course, it makes sense, out in the middle of nowhere, to have a portable phone, instead of laying cable and all that...

I am technologically challenged. I still don't understand how those little people get inside the TV.
