As long as you have a solid cell phone plan, good coverage, and you know how to contact your local emergency personel in your area, there should be no reason to keep your landline.  Not to mention, in an emergency situation such as a hurricane, your cell phone is probably a better option anyway since landlines usually go out in big storms . . . just my two cents . . .  oh, and I do not have a landline . . .  oh, and Spore rocks my socks off!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Liam Brennen</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2008 05:15:58 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
