Hmm, here rotary phones went out with the 1960's, They were pretty much all
replaced with touch tone by the mid-1970's. The Late 1970's saw TV remotes
come in (with Star Wars). Built my first computer in the late 1970's and had
4 by 1983 (8080/Z80, TI99.4A, C64, ZX80). A lot of money went to Compuserve
that year. Then got the Amiga 1000, started a number of BBS, dropped
Compuserve. Used a number of Fidonet based BBS in the area. My BBS evolved
and ended with Waffle based UUCP setup in the late 1999's.

....Rotary phones were never 'hip'!
