Re: Phone 'chips' (was Old Phone)
Fun oh! Interesting stuff. Well I reckon 'old farts' probably know a lot more about a lot of things than 'younger farts'. However, I do remember those A and B buttons as a young kid, forgetting to push the button (was it A or B ...) and yelling down the phone to no effect (exasperating or foolish!?).

Re: Phone 'chips' (was Old Phone)
Ah Malcolm, Neil, Shapelle and other rabid WAMUGgers Was it the one with the mouth piece on the black box on the wall of the red booth, with a separate ear piece? I think that was a penny a call, not a florin (almost the same size in the opening, much to my Mum's fear). When I was in Nasho's in Sydney in '72 we knew a few booths that would get us 5c STD calls back home to Perth, if we knew how to use them well! There was one at Circular Quay that was free. Hey, they must have been the 1970's public version of our internet voip phones. 30 years later we're still hacking them ;-) Reg On 18 Jul 2008, at 9:26pm, Malcolm McCallum wrote: I used to Push button 'B' because just sometimes you got money :-) Mac On 18/07/2008, at 6:33 PM, Shapelle McNee wrote: Fun oh!

Have fun, Shay Maybe the effect is in the potential difference between the pretty gold ink and the thick black ink. I think I'll call it the 'pretty thick' effect :-P Drifting further off-topic here... I believe the barriers that exist between people these days, that I hope mobiles etc help overcome or mitigate, cause us more damage than the phones themselves. Maybe texting is a little bit safer? I know I'm happier these days since my Mum has finally taken up texting. Fills the gaps between calls.
