   Minor details Rita. But they are the best-selling apps in the clearance e-bin.

   That building looks like a Soviet era factory. It’s depressing.

   That’s just one angle, inside the courtyard. It’s actually nicely landscaped. Of course, working for Rita may feel like being in a Soviet era factory.

   I have an older phone. Can I get it on e-floppy?

   I am one of the few people in recorded history to ever get money back from a phone company.

   At the dawn of phone deregulation, through a long chain of circumstances I was told by Southwestern Bell that I had to buy the phone installed in my house. The price was $35. I sent them a check for $10; pointing out that the phone had been hard-wired in in 1965, that it was rotary dial, and avocado in color. Two months later I got a check from Southwestern Bell for $10.

   That was a pity check.

   By the way, do rotary phones still work any more, or are the lines all digital?

   While Rita, on the other hand, is a headacher.

   Well, when you live out in the far country you take what you can find. But the avocado color had a certain flair to it. We also had a 300 baud manual-connect modem and had to pay long distance charges to reach the internet.

   I think the phone lines still work with dial phones. At least all the new phones I see have switches or buttons to make them work in in rotary mode.

    Avocado was quite poplar once. Along with burnt umber, and other colors called ‘earth tones.’ Very big in the seventies, too.

    @wwh85cp: Yes, rotary dial phones do still work. The phone company switches do still have to be backwards compatible.

    My mother was like that. A relentless positivism that considered reality, when it disagreed with her, to be negative and I was to shut up about it.

    I wish I worked in a factory with so many windows. Every factory I ever worked in was practically windowless except for the offices of the managment (and only fairly high level at that).
