Oh man the talking yellow pages I forgot all about those. I used those for hockey scores as well. And the "time and temperature" phone number.
One thing I think kids today really miss out on is the prank call. You can't make a prank call anymore what with the call display or *69. Also, unless they go to the oldies section they'll never see a movie that includes the line "you've got to keep him on the line for 1 minute"!
