Yay! I get to feel old!
er....wait...
The dialog between Momo and M today sounds disturbingly like my inner monologue.
vsonics:
I'll admit that I'm still in the category that isn't entirely sure about my opinion on the new Momo. I mean, she's absolutely adorable, sure. And I'm really interested in seeing where this goes. But there was just something...I don't know, appealing about the tiny robot that had her shit together way more than most of the other characters. Taking care of Marigold obviously keeps her in that position. She's just not tiny anymore. :(
p.s. What a beautiful telephone. But what happens if I want to take my call on the other side of the room? The cord thing comes off, right?

For local calls - had to call the operator for trunk calls*. Yes, I remember the introduction of STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialling) in the UK.
* The last place in England to get STD was Abingdon, a town near Oxford - in the early 1970s you still had to go through the operator to call people on the other side of the same town. Guess where I lived for a while...
And that phone was the new model that appeared in the UK in 1959. I grew up with this 1930s model:

I prefer not to delete history if I can avoid it; it feels like censorship. In the end, sympathetic listening by the forum established that the forumite who drove that topic is in a bad place personally; and she is now being offered advice, to the admittedly modest extent that an Internet forum can give it, in a more appropriate place. If that helps her, it seems a worthwhile exchange for a mere twelve hours of over-enthusiastic discussion in this thread; so please let it drop now.
Kugai:
Hmmmmmm
I wonder if Hanners and Momo 2.0 will team up to bring Marigold out of her shell more.
It would certainly be interesting to see those two double teaming MariBear
