While many of them went the way of the dodo, just Google ML321 still manufactured and in use for certain applications. It's a workhorse!
I'm well aware. My parents have a business where one of the services they provide is printing annual DHCR for clients who are landlords. Don't remember if it was the ML321, but it was definitely Okidata. And it was super loud (they did this in their home office), and ran seemingly nonstop for a week or two.

Fax paper!
How about the perforated printer paper? Holes on the side,  had to turn the knob to get out the jam.

NOW you are talking serious stuff! (Fireman) which also brings memories of the casio calculator watch with some good game on it.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Where was the game? And what was the game?

1. Clock
2. Address book
3. Caclulator
4. Alarm
5. World time
6. ?
7. Stopwatch
8. Countdown timer
9. ?
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

Do you know the ones that I missed? And did I get them in the right order?

We had to hurry "long distance" calls, cuz they cost money.

Or those many plans that had the first incoming minute free. ...o how many fifty-nine-second calls we had in the call history...
Lucky you - at some point I had a phone where a 3 second call counted as a full minute.

i have nothing more to say on that subject. i do, however, remember growing up on 613 Torah Ave and wish there was something like that for my daughter. Uncle Moishy is ugh. can't find anything close.
How about When Zaidy was Young? And there's the whole Boruch series.

I have that. As well as the magic yarmulke, the longest Pesach...
My greatest achievement? I am fluent in FRIENDS quotes

Calls to Eretz Yisroel on a special plan with AT&T (long distance, not wireless) = $2.50 (I think) for the first minute, $0.75 for each additional minute, and that was a bargain over the regular rates.
I remember reading in a Shmues'n Mit Kinder article about telephones how, nowadays, telephone technology is so advanced that for just $12 you can talk to Eretz Yisroel, and they let you talk for 4 minutes! (mind you, this is in 60s dollars...)
