Well, I was thinking more of looking them up in the (paper) book and dialing from the 1950s square-base on the credenza, but my cel phone doesn't do anything more than make calls anyway, and it has a backlight and stores some numbers: http://www.nokiausa.com/find-products/phones/nokia-2125i -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer
