I can't help myself... :) My mother in the 1980s: "no one can ever call us because the phone line is always busy" Me with an Osborne 1 and a 300 baud modem: "We need a second phone line!" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1) My mother: "That's too expensive. Quit clogging up the phone line with that toy!" Me: "Ok...Pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcch*ding*ding*ding*" (*) I never would've guessed in those days that it would provide me an entire professional career. scott (*) I copied Pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcch*ding*ding*ding* from a website as I could not spell that.
