Digits in a phone number.

I have two "frequently" used phone numbers and between
three and five "less used" numbers stored in my head.
Everything else is what the phone book is for.

Oh, you mean like - I don't even know what it's called
- on those phones that store numbers and you push a
button to dial the whole thing? I don't call enough
people or places to bother.

My phone is rotory dial, for what it's worth. I just
installed a new modular system (along with cable
wiring) this Summer. I still don't use the push button
phone unless I know I'm gonna get one of those idiotic
menu systems. Even then, I only do it so I can push
"0" in stead of having to wait 45 minutes for the
annoying voice to finish all the worthless options.
