Re: Best New Thing in User Documentation?
We have a *rotary* phone, and our kids all know how to dial.<<
They'll have to learn the stick shift, too, if they want my keys.<<
When my older daughters got to be of driving age, my wife and I taught
them to drive on automatics. Then, I intentionally bought a little blue
convertible sports car that has a stick. When the younger "boy-magnet"
asked how a stick-shift works, I made it sound really complicated, she
looked quite disappointed. The elder boy-magnet asked me to teach her to
drive it, "you-know, like.....in case of emergencies and stuff,
like....the house is on fire and I need to move your car" Yeah, I'll get
right on that, the day after my lobotomy.
Now, girls are sending late-night texts to my 14 year old son, anybody
know where I can get a rotary phone?!!!

We have a *rotary* phone, and our kids all know how to dial.
Can't use one with our service. I both do and do not miss it. I grew
up with a rotary dial with only needing to "ring" the last 4 digits of
a number to call within town. Same within-town call today requires a
full 10 digits.
They'll have to learn the stick shift, too, if they want my keys.
Same here.
