My studio-mate Marjolein has the coolest ringtone on her cellphone. It goes "Brrriiinngg". Like an old bakelite rotary-dial phone. This is what cellphones would sound like if they were made in the German Democratic Republic, and it's what they should sound like.

They should also manufacture cellphones with black bakelite casings and round displays that emulate 625 lines/sec b/W television. _I_ would buy one.

We should have the characters in WHIO use a cellphone with a rotary dial, or better yet, one with a separate mouth- and earpiece that needs a human (or robot) operator to connects you to whoever you're calling...
