Same thing with pay phones (phone booths).
"Do you mean a PRE-PAID cell phone?"
It never occurred to me that the name of a "dial-up" modem assumes that you know that phones once had dials.
Our grandkids can't even tell time on a "regular" clock -- just the digital types. And, I don't know if this is true everywhere, but they don't teach cursive writing here anymore, so they can't read that, either. But, sorry -- we digress...
I'm still considering trying one of the expandable hoses, good to hear that they seem to be making some improvements, such as the metal fittings.
I was also considering the coil-type hoses, but I remember the phone cord tangles all too well...
