@GLITTER @TrunkZ The rotary complicated things so much. Two longs and a short on the crank was easy to remember.

@dancingtongue Are we still discussing telephones? 😏😏😅😅

@TrunkZ Yep. The original ones hung on the wall and had a crank instead of a rotary dial. If the person you were calling was on the same system, you could "call" using the assigned combination of long and short cranks. Otherwise you had to go through a switchboard and request who you wanted.

BTW, it has taken me two years to memorize my cellphone number after cutting the landline. I'm fairly confident I have it now, but still hesitate every time someone asks for it.
