   I wonder how many people here had dialed a rotary phone on a regular   
   basis. No voicemail. No redial.   
      
   Growing up, we had one desk phone in the family room and one wall   
   phone in the kitchen. The kitchen phone was yellow to match the decor.   
      
   Welcome to the 1970s.
