On the note of touch-tone service -- There are parts of the country that had it but it was a $5.00 extra cost option. My mother didn't bother to go touch-tone with any of her phones until 1996, and then only because my stepdad got a digital pager for work and she couldn't key in his PIN number! Her sole reason was not paying that extra $5.00/mo fee. Seems kind of silly given that the phone company has to maintain expensive equipment to handle the rotary stuff when digital switching became the norm in the 80's. Even today I still have an extra $1.00/mo charge for touch-tone from AT&T in an urban area. It's still considered an "option". WTF???
