I googled “old school cell phones”, and this picture among other over sized, 5 pound boxes of metal appeared. I laughed very hard.
Then I came across a picture of my very first cell phone! And I laughed again. I remember I bought a black leather case for it that covered the whole thing. It even had a solid leather flap that was hinged with thread on one side and had Velcro on the other so when I wasn’t using the phone to call my parents home number or calculating how much my next pay check would be, I could protect my super cool phone.
Gotta go, my cell is ringing!
