Man, did _that_ date this post's origin. Phone cords haven't
been black since rotary dials, nigh onta 4 decades ago.

Ha ha. The *real* dating is, most folks don't *have*
phone cords any more.

Well, that's true enough, too. I'm anti-cell-phone so don't
get me started. I should make up one of those signs in reverse
lettering that says "HANG UP AND DRIVE, YOU RECKLESS IDIOT!"
to carry in my truck with me. sigh...

There are other cordless phones that AREN'T cell phones...I've got two of
them and two cell phones...and no, I don't talk on the phone and drive,
either.
