I can't imagine how I EVER lived without caller i.d. From bill collectors, to people I don't want to be bothered with, ex-boyfriends, etc. We had to answer that phone back then and not have a clue who was on the other end!
The "tv-going-off-song" had to be the saddest sound in the world for a night owl like me.
There was NEVER any sleeping late on Saturday mornings cause you didn't want to miss your cartoons.
I think the worst thing I can remember back then was missing out on a well-paying assignment with a temporary agency. They told me they called all day and couldn't get through cause my line stayed busy!
