   In mid May I bought a Princess phone from AT&T to replace a rented one.
The new one was substantially lighter than AT&T phones I bought three & four
years ago -- a good, stiff breeze could blow it off the table -- and the key
pad is far less robust.  So much for the benefits of the break up.
   Now the phone is beginning to fail, and the 90-day warranty period is long
gone.  Probably I can fix it, but I'm spooked and wondering what will fail
next.

   Does anyone know of a source for working, built-to-last-20-years Princess
phones, of any color?  I would hope for an outlet in the Southern-California
area, but would still be overjoyed to find any source in the United States --
or Canada.

   Please send mail (please!) to me directly.
