6 Truthfully, I don't even like email. I never wanted it but the bosses forced it upon me in the bad old days before I retired.

7 I always wanted to change DNS. The first change was one bit in front for mobile vs fixed device. Then carrier, next (current GPS) (this if mobile with carrier can create a back reference to the carrier's name for the device) and then an altitude and a random number.
