True true, though there are some schools out there that don't allow children to use the phones at certain times (this includes after school).
Our school had that thing for awhile, and if they weren't outside and you needed to go back in to call them they'd kick you out automatically.
Of course, there's also kids that allow others to borrow their phones, but y'know, ahah.

I'm one of those as well; I think I just prefer taking it mostly because my parents are prone to calling constantly, but it doesn't really sound like these are -- so I can understand what you mean.
Desktops were, and are, still the bomb for me, ahaha. Though I use a laptop now due to being older, I wouldn't mind using a desktop at times.
Iunno, I may have a smartphone of some kind, but I think I'm only saying what I'm saying because I wouldn't mind having to use some of the older flip phones for anything if it came down to it.
