That is dependent on where one lives. In most of the U.S. a person cannot function without a car. Big cities are different since they have public transit systems.

So given I live in the middle of cotton country and the nearest grocery store is about 10 miles away, I have to select car (truck, actually).

I'd choose the computer, so long as it came with the Internet. I could order just about anything I needed, communicate with friends/family, research anything I might be interested in learning about, and more.

I don't drive, so a car wouldn't do me any good. Smile

I'd choose a car, because I could sell it and buy a computer and a cell phone.

If I had to choose only one, I would have to get a different job. Other than that I think a car would be the priority for me. Smile

By far a car. I can live without a cellphone, after all I did at one time. I wouldn't have to buy a computer because the company I work for supplies that. So, a car is fine, that way I can get to the airport to fly to the city I am cruising out of. Don't I wish I could do that right about now.

Car most definitely. I work on and with computers all day long-hate them. Cell phones are totally annoying and dangerous to people on the road when people are driving and talking on them. I'm with Greyson, I can drive to my cruise port and get on my ship.

Looks like the car is more popular than I thought.....and Sonny...stop trying to cheat Big Grin
The idea is that you only have one of these.

Car, hands down.

Ugh, I wish I had a good enough excuse to get rid of my cell phone. I was pretty young when I got my first cell, and I had one before everyone else my age had one, so I felt sooooo cool. Over the last five or six years, however, I've grown to hate it. A tiny piece of me resents the fact that people EXPECT to be able to get a hold of me 24/7. I prefer to use my cell as a pager when I'm out and about. Unless I'm expecting a call, I let it go to voicemail... then I check the message, and decide whether or not I want to call back before I get home. I dream of ditching the cell phone and going back to a land line only, but alas, the world has changed. Sniff

Every time I get on Houston freeways I wish some of the people driving had to choose between their car or their cell phone. Seems they want to use both at the same time, while eating and applying their make-up.

Cheers, Neil

A truck ? You've really got a huge - and hungry - family ... Wink
