In that case, only the newest phone is on a GSM network.  It's the first
to have a SIM card.  The Nokia was analog, btw, that's how long ago it
was...  ;)  I know that TracFone uses all sorts of different networks,
but I think that there is something that has to actually be done to the
phone in order for it to be used as a TracFone, unless it started out
from the beginning as such...  Not sure if it is possible in all cases,
either..  :)  It might be as simple as loading TracFone software onto
the phone, but there might be more to it than that...

Not really interested in touch or droid phones, myself...  

 SH>> I got a loaf of walnut zucchini bread at the farmer's market Saturday.

 NB>> Zucchini bread is a good use for the veggie...  :)   Of course, I
 NB>> don't mind eating it, either... especially a little one, mixed with
 NB>> a little yellow squash... or as part of ratatouille...  :)

 SH> I prefer summer squash, including zucchini, raw. I just don't care for
 SH> the taste and texture of them when cooked. Grilled or roasted isn't
 SH> quite as bad. I tolerate them when boiled, steamed, or microwaved, or
 SH> as a part of ratatouille.

I like them raw also.  A little butter makes the boiled/steamed/mw'ed
tastier, but we eat them plain, too...  Once in a while, I make a quasi
ratatouille... 

 SH> Anyway, this one looks like it would be a winner.
 SH> Title: Chocolate Zucchini Nut Bread

Probably enough chocolate to disguise the squash...  :)
