It has new chapters about forensic science, mental health, and neuroscience, but unfortunately nothing about computer science. The manual download and it's also online."

I once cut down a tree with a hammer (approx 30cm in diameter, it took all day).
The problem is not cutting down the tree, but flattening it out into a 'wheel' shape. So yes, you are correct. It does take a really long time, and a travois (or similar) is much more effective given the amount of time it takes to make a wheel (lacking 'sophisticated' tools).

Oh, and +1 to the RAZR, it's a great phone which I owned for 3+ years easily. They are cheap, in plentiful supply, and do everything that you (the OP) wants.
Some of the less expensive text-only nokias will work too. As a bonus, they cannot receive picture messaging, preventing you from even needing to consider a plan with one.

MMS is an abhorrent waste of time that despite I get free unlimited MMS messages, have never sent one. I will not inflict that pain and suffering on another person in that way.
They truly are a vile creation only popular with people whos age (or acts like their age) starts with a '1' followed by some small number.
