    At a minimum.

    Those are good reasons for configuring your phone service to fit your needs more precisely.

    I switched my “landline” to VoIP several years ago and kept my original number (for much the same reason as you … everyone who knows me already has it) but was able to add a second “virtual” number with a distinctive ringtone, which I use for business purposes.

    I use the smartphone mostly for texting and probably haven’t made 50 voice calls on it total in the past decade.

    And this version was recorded in 1963 by Tom Glazer and the “Do-Re-Mi Children’s Chorus”.

    This is one of my all-time favorite C&H comics. :)

    This is one of those Pluggers comics that really only resonates with the real life Pluggers ourselves.

    There are very, very few domestic long distance plans anymore with per-minute rates. Virtually all wireless comes with unlimited domestic calling (and is part of the reason why people can keep their wireless number even when they move somewhere else; area codes are becoming increasingly irrelevant as the wireless number is becoming your “number for life”) and quasi-landline services that use VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocols) never had anything but flat rate domestic LD. Think Vonage or Magic Jack, or your local cable company’s “voice service” as examples.

    So for this panel to be truly relevant, that has to be a traditional wired landline with an outdated long distance plan attached to it. I bet no Caller ID on that phone, and I’d even be surprised if it has Call Waiting.

    “Fast food” and “cafe” are words that should never be used together. (Yes, I’m looking at you, Mickey D’s.)

    Wait … don’t I remember hearing that in the 1970s on an “elevator music” radio station?

    Now I have the same expression on my face as Calvin.

    YES! That was the “technology” used for the 1956 remote!
