    -We called them "phones", children.

    -But... how do you download apps to it?
    That's not a phone... THIS is a phone! Comes complete with a "party line". Do you remember what that was?? :noway: nbp4ba.jpg

    Big Mac promotion... If you could rattle off the Big Mac recipe/jingle in less than 3 seconds you got a free burger. I did that... "Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsandasesameseedbun"!

    i would kill for one of these that works with the modern phone system.

    i hate the flimsy, cheap, plastic pieces of junk that now pass themselves off as desk phones.

    i want something solid like that old phone, that stays put on the desk even if i swivel my chair while i'm talking on the phone. also, there was something satisfying about dialing those old rotary phones, as well as the sound they made when the dial moved back to its original position.

    If you remember Mr Dressup then you must remember The Friendly Giant. I even learned to speak some french by watching "Chez Helene". (Found pics of friendly giant, but clueless to posting them)
