"ONE RINGY-DINGY ..."

(And if you understand that headline, Congrats! You’re Old!) A Connecticut outfit called AbleComm is tapping into baby boomers’ desire for products that take them back to a simpler time with original rotary telephones from the 1970s. In a pitch, the company explains that it used to sell and install such phones as a business, but got overtaken by digital technology. But rather than throw away the then-unwanted phones, the company stored them, and is now selling working models at premium prices. A full look at their lineup can be seen at Frill Free Phones.com, with the most expensive one being a bright red desktop model going for a healthy $149. Give yourself an extra five points if you know who Commissioner Gordon called on his red phone.
