New gadgets at our household

Just before we embarked on our Christmas travels, I picked up a new gadget. The phone we had in our family room had gone a wee bit haywire. For a few weeks, if you answered a call on that phone, you would not be able to hear the person and they couldn't hear you. We managed with that, but when it stopped making phone calls all together, that's when I moved on a phone I had been eyeing since the problems first surfaced. I had surmized we need a multi handset phone system so all the phones could talk to one another. In addition, it had to be 5.8 GHz so as not to interfere with my wireless network. The phone we got was the Uniden TRU-8865. WE LOVE IT!!!! Debbie has grown particularly fond of the intercom system it offers. She can just pick up the phone and call me in my office in the basement. Then there are the distinctive ring tones that can be assigned to phone book entries. Looks like my scouring around for a good phone has really paid off!
I love it when a plan comes together.
