The minute differs from the minute on my cellphone by about 10 seconds, that is truly amazing. I go back to when a long distance phone call meant shouting at top volume and then not always being able to hear the person at the other end , very late 1940's and very early 1950's. |

On the farm in the 60's we got phone service from a private little rural phone company and we were on a party line. It was a hoot. ^_^ On my parents' farm in the 1980s they had a party line. -- Wes Groleau Curmudgeon's Complaints on Courtesy: http://www.onlinenetiquette.com/courtesy1.html |

Then quietly pick up handset and listen in. Greg |

I just picked up my old fashioned tone dial handset, by tapping on the hangup button on the wall, I called my cell phone. Is that cool. I like the old phone, works without external power, and has loud bell. Also got loud bell in garage. Greg |
