yeah i remember the days before mobiles, you'd use your 56k internet on a night to get on msn, repeatedly get shouted at by your parents for hogging the phoneline, and arrange stuff and if you did you were there, on time. or ride/walk/bus miles to a friends house in the hope they were in, but if they wernt you'd turn around and head back not even that fussed. Or you would ring their house phone, which you knew off by heart or had written in a 'phone book'(always lived next to the house phone) and ask for them.
cant remember the exact year or age i got a mobile but it was a hand me down from my dad and it thought it was amazing! used to play snake for hours and text girls at least ONCE a day!
