Hate it when things fall out of the common vernacular.

What amazed me is that our two year old knew exactly what to do with a rotary dial phone toy she received. Picked it up, dialed a number and said "hello, Minne Mouse?" That's a pretty strong statement about industrial design.

She also answers my cell phone and says "Hello Crew Scheduling ... I don't know where Daddy is." That's a statement about industrial relations.

Bar's right. It was a shoe phone for two decades before it became a car phone.
