Along a similiar line, did anyone here have a party-line on their phone?
We did back in the 1960's, IIRC, out in the country.

I am pretty sure I have used both.
Although back in typewriting class, there was one electronic typewriter and the rest were manual typewriters. Somehow I ended up with the electronic one, and the teacher was surprised to see how well I typed. I don't think she realised my one had a backspace key...

No longer use either, though I have both in storage. Love old tech.

Yup, both - especially the typewriter was a great improvement to the ink/feather.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Yes, it's true, cousin Shiva pays us to do this. We are grateful.

Good to see the Police being provided the best equipment.....
I have used both - and a "partyline".I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.Comment

party line otherwise known as three way call on ur phone to connect to others on three way call, back in the 80s had that. Um what type of type writer maunal or the electric used both in school. Rotary phone reminds me of that skit from lethal weapon with chris rock funny as **** seen one never used itWhen you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.

I blame my slow typing on typewriters. Type too fast and it would jam the keys. Repairing the ribbon was also a bit of a pain on the one we had.
Haven't used one in about 15 years.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

We didn't, but I had several Aunts and Uncles who lived in a rural area that did.Originally posted by Grandpa Troll

It was always strange to pick the phone up and hear others talking. Sometimes my Aunt would pick it up and listen for a second and jump right in!"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

I have used both.
