How old are you?

@galacticstone I'm so old, I've used a payphone (in rural Scotland) which still had button A and button B!
@NormanDunbar
A for incoming,B for outgoing?

@galacticstone
I *own* a payphone.@jamesb
How much income is that generating?

How old are you?
@galacticstone
I'm sure I must have seen rotary pay phones, but the image in my mind has been replaced by the dialpad variety.
Those are what I remember using.Definitely had rotary around the house early on.
I only ever saw card operated phones in Europe, during the 90s. (Not before or since... But I also didn't go back to Europe.)

@IrrationalMethod The results are definitely going to be skewed.
It's funny to me, because when I first found the Fedi and Mastodon back in 2018, I operated under the mistaken assumption that the demographic here is much younger than me (I'm 56).
Over time, I discovered that many Mastodonians are my age or older.
There are far more AARP members here than I originally thought. 🤪
@galacticstone @IrrationalMethod I'm old enough but there's no way in hell will I join AARP. Their lobby is like the dumber half of the Republican Party.

@IrrationalMethod @galacticstone me: oh cool, a payphone that's not derelict or a defibrillator or a library!
@jackeric @IrrationalMethod @galacticstone that’s a portal. No wait it’s a water heater. A snow cone maker?

@NormanDunbar @galacticstone I remember those! Bugger, that’s given the game away. ALRIGHT I’M OLD!!
@PaulNickson @galacticstone Welcome to the oldies club!
