Talking on one of those little bar-shaped cells does feel kinda
sissified. One holds it like a fancy tea cup. I have a old business
phone at the office that I think is the cat's meow. It has buttons for
dialing and lines and 18 speed dial numbers! As an extra bonus you can
slam that receiver down, no problem. Unfortunately, thanks to the cell
phone's mobility, I hardly ever sit a my desk.

I agree - the old phones were more suitable for guys and anyone that
appreciates the substantial. Too bad the younger generation won't ever
know the way of the landlines.
