In this age of Moore’s Law, with iPods holding 40GB of space, and more and more memory being crammed into smaller and smaller devices, with even greeting cards having microchips with entire tunes stored therein–in an age when we remember with nostalgic fondness, back in the 80s, when our PCs had 64kb–why O why does my new cordless telephone STORE ONLY 50 NUMBERS? My cell phone holds 200 for goodness sake.
