What specific gadget/s (as in the brand and model) can't you
currently
(seriously or humorously) leave your home without and please say why,
for anything named. It's fine if anything mentioned is primarily
cell
phone - mobile phone related, but it doesn't have to be.

In my life so far I have installed WANs (Cisco routers, microwave radios,
work with T-1s T-3s and up to OC-48 and Fore/Marconi ATM switches - install
hardware and do the programming), install and do M.A.C.s of PBXs (Nortel
Option 81c, Opt. 11c, Callpilot, etc. - install and do the programming), ran
a computer repair department (both PCs and APPLE Macs), repair TVs, VCRs and
Pioneer Laser Disc units and worked in the prototype department of a LORAN-C
manufacturer, worked in a plastics chemistry lab and designed assembly lines
complete with the programming and installation of programmable controllers,
plus other experiences. In college I studied such things as Psychology,
mechanical engeniering, physics, ergonomics and human factors ( human -
machine interactions ) and math. Thus, I am no stranger to High-Tech..

My wife is a gadget person and has a blog, a facebook page, an iPhone, etc.
and thinks I'm strange because I seldom even use a cell phone, I pay bills
by checks through the mail, don't like to buy anything unless I have the
cash for it (almost never use credit cards) and seldom watch TV or listen to
the radio.

After all that, I have to say that, though it may be ironic, I can't think
of anything that I would feel bad about leaving at home.

I would personally be happy if I could live a simple life, ride a horse or
my mt bike to work and look forward to only having a good book and good
dinner to come home to.

As far as gadgets go, I can't think of anything since the late 1800's that I
would feel bad about leaving at home.

Sorry for cutting the number of NGs to four but my host sucks and limits it
to 4 max..

..................and you dabble in rec.org.mensa too. What about a wee
dictionary....to help you SPELL, gadget-head. Shocking! :)
 
If you're looking for something that isn't obvious -- cell phone, navigator,
jukebox, PDA, etc -- I can't think of any.

I normally carry my cell phone -- for emergencies or long-distance calls, as
it's normally turned off -- and my PDA, which stores a lot of useful and
necessary information. But I wouldn't "die" if I left these or the other
items at home.

The only thing that I absolutely must have are my pants. My wife says
that were I to leave them home, the women would mob me, and the men
would lynch me.

Cell phone is the only thing. I don't have anythign else that I carry.
I even leave my car keys in the car so I don't carry them either.

In my garage... <g> However many people where I live don't take their
keys out of the car. It is not uncommon to see a car running at the
convience store in the winter, no one in it. (Yea, a few get stolen,
too...)

You must live in a very good neighborhood!

I learned in a hard school! For several years I lived about two blocks
from the Trenton, NJ city line. My house was broken into once and there
were two other unsuccessful attempts. A neighbor came out of her house
one morning started her car and went back into her house for something.

A nigger (he earned that appellation) was loitering in a small park
across the street. He did the hundred yard dash, jumped in the car, and
drove off with it!

We now live in a much better neighborhood but we do not tempt our
neighbors or their children. We installed deadbolt locks, and we use
them without fail. Our neighbors think we're crazy but we will be the
last on the block, not the first, to have a breakin.

Locks only keep the honest or lazy out. How do you know that you having
deadbolts doesn't mean the thieves think you have something worth
protecting?

Short of barbed wire and towers with lights and machine guns, I've done
what I can to make a burglar work for his loot! If burglars wanted to
work, they wouldn't be burglars! I'm also heavily armed and would enjoy
the opportunity to shoot such a lowlife!
