I know. But I never used a crank phone. And I’m sentimental about my past.

The 500 model I have is my past, but a Bell System Western Electric 302 with F1 handset would be better.

I have a rotary phone as the phone in my garage. We just use it yo answer phone calls. It is not that old. It is red and wall mounted.
 
I only use mine to talk to my children, at arranged times. All other incoming calls are ignored. They are all bogus since no one living associates that number with my name.

I had a red rotary model 500, but sold it at the parish rummage sale. Then had to find another model when I belatedly learned that my brother in law wanted just such a marvel.

Life is complicated.

Me too…except that after several decades of clacking and laptopping I still use only one finger per hand…with the very occasion lapse into two. As for touch-typing…
 
All my typing was done on a dumb terminal to an IBM mainframe, down the hall and down the stairs.

Serves me well on my laptop keyboard.
 
it’s been a few decades, but I learned on manuals.

There was a time that I actually hit more than 100wpm on them.

In grad school, I found out that Korean students watching me type in our computer room referred to me as “the machine gun”, and questioned whether I was actually typing anything. At one point, I turned and held a conversation with a couple without slowing.down . . .

One quarter in college, I was done, and a friend with whom I was supposed to go out was picking his way through, typing at his computer keyboard. I finally told him to get out of the way so I could type. As my eyelids got heavy, I handed it to him to read to me.

It seems I eventually fell asleep, and would type what they read, but was unresponsive to questions . . .

As a young lawyer, I found that I could type faster than I could dictate . . . so rather than recording for the secretaries, I typed and gave it to them to clean and format . . .
 
Talk about a skill that means nothing anymore! 😂😂😂. I could type about 120 women back in the day. I’m nowhere near as fast on screen typewriters and computer keyboards are too sensitive for someone that learned on old manuals…you had to strike the keys…not tap them!

Well, if an EMP ever kills all electronics, I’m your gal for typing a letter…to be taken by Pony Express for delivery! 😜
 
Durn auto correct! WPM. I’ve never typed women nor men! I type Words Per Minute! There…autocorrect that ipad!
 
Mine has been missing for a week now.

I walked in, carrying it and a piece of mail, and . . .

maybe it’s wherever I lost my keys between parking in the driveway and patting down my suit to remove them (in a related vein, I now know how to remove a steering wheel and change the ignition lock cylinder . . .)
