- An item appeared in the "Metropolitan Diary" column of the {NY Times} a
- couple of weeks ago reporting that when you call Casio's hot line at
-
- 800-762-1241
-
- the recorded voice says (and I confirmed it),
-
- "...if you are calling from a touch tone phone, press "1"
- now. If you are calling from a rotary-dial telephone,
- please call back on a touch-tone telephone."
-
- And then a little later ...

- Well, now it gives you a 201 number to call (9am-5pm EST, even though
- we're in EDT now :-) if you're on a rotary dial phone. (They've
- probably gotten *so* many calls since that hit the NYT -- my *mother*
- heard of it :-)
