Do you have a landline phone?

[angus]

I voted for the second option.  The last time I remember having a landline phone was when we lived in Columbus, and we moved from there in the summer of 2007.

Actually, for the past six months I have had a landline, but not a landline phone.  The cable TV company had some sort of "triple play" option that made our TV and internet cheaper if we got a land line phone number.  I have never plugged into it.  In fact, I do not know whether we actually have a phone suitable of plugging into it, so I don't have a landline phone, and haven't for many years.  I do, however, have a landline phone number.  I'm not sure what the phone number is.  I wrote it down somewhere but I've long since lost it.

Are there posters here already who did not grow up with one in the home?

probably.  My son did.  Well, we had one for the first two years of his life but he won't remember that.  It's funny to hear him refer to "those telephones that are big...you know...they have a curly cord from the part with buttons to the part that you hold...like the one you have in your office."  To people of his generation, that's something that only exists in offices.
