I still have a desk top rotary telephone packed away in the basement somewhere. Back in the 80's I subscribed to a service that fed me real time stock quotes. I would put the handset into a cradle they furnished, dial a long distance number (costly in those days), input the stock symbol into their small keyboard and, after a few seconds, read the quote. In between my quote requests it would monitor the OEX in RT, which was what I was trading in those days. Not sure why I kept the old phone. I do recall it weighs about 12 pounds. Black and ugly!
