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.
