#4 RJS, its' because they would page him on his phone and he has to respond within probably 30 minutes. Hear the ring, head down the road and answer.
It's part of the 'always on call' that a lot of people work under now.
I find that forgetting to put it on the charger works well.

#5 gettin pretty close to "1984" when they GPS track you and no one seems to think it obtrusive, on the contrary, its "normal".

#7 ed in texas, if he's on call but still manages to take the call and do what is necessary does it really matter that he was golfing?

#9 We were trying to get a Tom gps to reset its satellites, and had to put it in the microwave. Wrapping it in aluminum foil didn't do it.
