Rotary-dial phones

[pne]

Prompted by seeing Amy playing with an old rotary-dial phone she got from her grandparents, and seeing that she didn't know what to do with the dial (she only picked up the receiver and talked). No wonder, since I doubt she's seen one before, and it's likely she won't be seeing (m)any in the future, either.

(Funny that the little icon for "phone" used in various places is nearly always a rotary-dial one, though!)

The first phone I owned was a yellow rotary phone. I loved it. A couple of years later, probably in 1985, I bought my first push-button phone. It was blue and had ten memory positions. :-) Well 11 actually, one for the last dialled number too.
