Well, I just saw an interesting extension of that. An AT&T rep was here working out the details of an expansion to our System-25 (another 60 extensions, etc) and was giving an example of either making a call or somebody calling us (I forget which). What phone number did she use? Of course, 555-xxxx! roy PS: Nobody else in the group caught it, I don't think.
