  1. I remember the phone with the rotary dial, and it also had the 'dial tone' to let you know the line was 'open' when you put it up to your ear, or the 'beep-beep-beep' when there were no open lines. No dial tones on cell phones these days. I was in college when the Iranian Revolution happened and a lot of the Iranian students would disappear after class, apparently fearful of reprisals when the USA Embassy in Tehran was taken over. Also worked with a lot of Iranian engineers and tech guys/gals in the 1980s, most told me they applied for and got asylum after the Shah fell and the Iran/Iraq war started as they got to the USA via the Shah's connections with the USA and would be drafted (or imprisoned) if they went back. Those were pretty wild times.
