Question Am I wrong to not want a modern computer?

[ZzzKing]

And the wall phone was near bullet-proof, worked for 30 years without needing any service calls or upgrading to a new model, and for some people (albeit fewer and fewer), just making voice calls is all they really need a phone to do.

When I was in high school, my uncle looked at my grandmothers phone bill one month. She had a rotary dial phone that was hard-wired into the wall that was the property of the phone company. She had paid about $2.50 a month to rent it and had been doing that for close to 30 years. so had probably paid over $300 for it over time. And you could get a crappy used car for $150 at the time.

Sorry, back to our previously scheduled program.
