I wish that were true for me, Mal. Two weeks ago I went to Vegas for a conference, which required a 2 1/2 hour flight from Chicago. While I was in the air, I checked my voice mail at work twice and discovered that we were getting blindsided on an account at the last minute that was worth about $50,000 in revenue to me. I had to have the problem solved before I was due to land. Thanks to the airphone, I solved the problem and made my client look good because of it.

My business is probably a little different that most peoples in that I get calls on my cell phone at night and on the weekends as a matter of course. I also get emails at odd hours since I do a lot of business in London and a lot of my clients are on the West Coast. But I'm probably the exception to the rule.
