Only 14,732? He must have not been very popular. Or, maybe everyone just stopped trying because he never returned the calls.
The old answering machine is cute but they didn’t have voice prompts. In fact you were lucky to have a numerical counter on the thing. I bet I could dig one up if I had to. Wifey says I never throw anything away. (That’s not true, I’ve thrown away many a good oportunity!)
I’m pretty sure the original story doesn’t mention Rip checking his voicemails when he returns from his 20-year nap.
That isn’t an old answering machine, it’s the phone. So it could have a counter, or maybe he’s calling his voicemail. Either way, the system would have gone to saying “The mailbox is full, and cannot accept any more messages,” long ago.
