In these days of multiple phone services, valid phone books were last published several years ago so 411 gets a lot of exercise. A working browser is handier than the turn button on the outhouse door. The -p option wiped out my history replacing it with links to fb etc, which for security reasons I don't touch with a 30 foot pole. So I'll have to spend a week restoring that just to regain my daily news sites tour. And I did find that I'll have to physically visit both of my local food suppliers. Sigh. They have not instigated a store employee shopping cart service so one can pay at the door with reduced exposure. We don't have any KNOWN cases here yet.
