There's something gloriously low tech about a rotary phone that adds a kind of simplicity to a day. The nature of the device actually makes the very act of calling someone take enough time that you avoid it, but once on the phone there's something really satisfying of a big ole handset accompanied by the ability to slam it down on the switchhooks. Once you blend that with the convenience of a cell phone you can set up your own little retro office ar your local starbucks

omg this is just too nerdy. want.
