Searching for a Satellite Pager?
mcolgin asks: "I need a satellite pager! Why? I own a dot-com and as the only technical person responsible for the 7 servers needed to run the site and it's automated delivery systems, I've got to find out about any problems, before my customers/suppliers do; no matter where I am, especially when I'm: camping in Eastern-Washington; back-country skiing in Whistler; or driving down to Oregon for Mother's Day. I've tried every type of cellphone and pager I can find, but nothing gets a message to me once I get out of populated areas and away from freeways. So, I started looking into Satellite pagers; but I swear, I can't find anything in the local Seattle, WA area and only a couple listings online from Google searches. This has got to be a problem that the Slashdot community has run into, before. Any suggestions?"
Why don't you just hire someone else to run those things?
Oh, I bet I know why. You're one of those bosses who owns a small company, and is a control freak who HATES the fact that he has to have employees at all, because everyone but you is an idiot, and it's impossible to train other people to do things exactly as YOU would do them. Because, as everyone knows, your way is the only right way.
So, yeah, good luck with the satellite pager search.
