    I am bad enough punching in wrong numbers when all I have to do is touch them, but I can still see the days when I didn't dial all the way around, getting my fingers caught in the holes and whatever. Phones and I were meant only to be friendly back in the day, when I picked up the receiver and an operator said, "Number please?"

    hahaha ^^^^ :D Lois ...I love rotary phones...I collect vintage ones, do em up make make sure they can work on modern systems , and resell them, although there's some I couldn't part with and keep for myself ... just a shame they're way too big and heavy and are incapable of taking photos or I would happily exchange my iphone for one..

    As long as the exchange accepts pulses as well as tones, it'll work!
