I work in in the merchant marine. On board ships I work a large number of us have laptops and MP3 player. Ripping to a player seems obvious to us. I have the opportunity to talk with a number of people out here who don't have either. Several have asked if there was a way to buy and ipod preloaded as they have no desire to buy a laptop.
Seems this device would hit the older crowd who would like the advantages of the ipod without having to learn several new piece of technology in order to use the IPod.
"the system works by making the cell phone believe that a smoke-detector sized control unit is the ceiling is the best tower to camp on. Once the phone camps on the control unit it becomes captive and off the public network. Incoming calls are sent to voicemail by the public network because they think the phone is turned off. the control unit will not let the phone make outgoing calls.
as for the name, a large market for the Cell-Block-R (cellblocker) products are prisons."
The poster was asking about a career change not about the financial incentive to do so Doing something some one loves is more apt to produce results than to do it for the money. Most people in the Medical field will tell you often the money really is not there. Perhaps they are looking at a career change for retirement or any number of other reasons. Just answer the question rather than imagining what the motivations are...
