Back in my day, none of these phones were celly phones, or smarty phones, they were just phones, and we talked on them, we didn't typo on them.

    More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    Back in my day, there were none of these gay people. Everyone was straight.

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    You know, I always found it amusing that the introduction of text messaging meant phone keypads had to start including the letters Q and Z.

    I seem to remember some Nortel stuff from the late 1980s putting Q and Z on the 1 key, but that may have been something only they did.

    I have a vague memory of seeing Q and Z on the 1 key on a few phones in the '90s. I always wondered what purpose that served...Does anyone even use old-fashioned telephone exchange names anymore anyway?

    Maybe in 2100, a culture comprised of people who want to live by the virtues instilled in the 1980s will keep this tradition alive, we shall call them, the Neo-Amish.
