Mr. B.’s homework assignment spiral notebook has a spot on the first page for his parents’ phone numbers. He dutifully wrote in Mrs. Charm’s office phone. For Dad he put the home landline number and wrote under it: "Never answers the phone, so don’t bother."
Smart kid. Wish the sales callers would get the message, but they continue to call and I continue to ignore them. We’ve debated getting rid of the landline but are keeping it for the older relatives who don’t have cell phones.

The last time I bought a new headphone for the Skype system, the salesman at Radio Shack claimed most people his age (i.e. in their 20s) used Skype instead of landlines. If so, they must make up a good part of the intertubes phone service’s 450 million customers who will be calling the old landline company if a lawsuit comes out the way Swedish company Joltid wants it. It would be a pity, for sure.
