But can you dial a rotary phone?

When I had that old phone, EVERY single person took multiple dialings to get it right. None had the patience to let the rotor turn all the way back, before dialing the next number.
When I was in Heidelberg 68-71 I spent quite a bit of time dialing subordinate commands on a crap phone system. I used my Parker pen to dial because my finger got wore out. I wore entirely through the metal pushbutton on the pen, going around that dial.

Redleg, I got my computer in fall of 2000 and had a dial-up modem for quite a while. It took forever to connect. When our phone company finally put fiber-optic lines out here a few years ago, I was able to get hIgh-speed internet.

When I first moved here to rural northwest central Arkansas in 1977, there were still only 4-party phone lines available.

But I did mean the phone as for was it metal.

You hit a WWE guy in the face with one of those and he'd go out. Instead of "what was that?"

The metal computers I ran back in 72-75 were metal, and fit in 3 reefer trucks. Parked across the road, in a big parking lot.

And were the only thing at Ft. Hood that had AC.

I haven't walked around all day in high heels and a skirt to know what a woman goes through?

So much for you applying for a media or government job, sorry.


I know how to operate the internet.

I find the ability to operate campfires, hand tools, and basic first aid items to be more valuable.

I can operate other things that can create the need for first aid, but it scares the children and liberals when I talk about them.
