Everyone in our group was using the Nextel* phones, with their patented “push-to-talk” technology. For those unfamiliar, this was their walkie-talkie-like functionality. Instead of having to call someone, you pulled up their short code, held down a button on the side, and spoke, and they would hear you. It’s was pretty brilliant. While it was possible that i tricked my boss into giving me a phone, in the end, the joke was on me. (more…)
