Your lantern has gone out.

"Y'all" is plural. "All y'all" is a greater/collective/encompassing plural.

Compare with "we" versus "we all" or "they" versus "they all".

Sprint won't let Virgin Mobile phones be moved to Ting. I am a Ting customer but would like to have my old Virgin Mobile phone as a backup or even as an optional third number.

"They don't allow it" is a wholly unacceptable answer and it's the best I've received.

Pioneer 6 was last contacted in 2000, still operating 35 years after launch.

I wonder if it or its companions Pioneer 7 & 8 are still functioning and if their data could still be useful.

If it works with Ting (the best Sprint MVNO, IMO), then I'll consider it later. I like having an SD card slot and an easily-replaceable battery.

Here's a nickel. Go buy yourself a real computer.

(The first Sun equipment I used was a Sun 3 workstation.)

When the Shipstone comes along, I'll be there.
