Yes, I was talking about landlines. It did have a battery, and it did
have a phone book. (And it did get lost, too, but that's because we
had a lot of papers and stuff in that corner of the kitchen. We knew
it was SOMEWHERE in the pile, but can you find it before the caller
gives up?) And it actually suffered from lack of signal more often
than you might think. We called them "outages", and they were the
phone system's equivalent to power blackouts. Usually from the same
cause, too - a car crashed into a pole somewhere and snapped the
wires.

The only issue I might have about this is whether it dated back to
1986. I asked my mother, and she couldn't remember quite when they
came out. Certainly they were around in the early 1990s, and they
weren't new then, so they can't be more than a couple years off the
30-years-ago estimate. Can you blame me if I take "30 years ago" and
answer it from 28? :)
