I got caller ID when a classmate of my daughter started making prank
calls to here.  There were a few other prank calls too. But sudeenly
after a chat with the pranker's grandmother (who was paying her phone
bills) the prank calls stopped (amazing what the proper attidute can
accomplish)
Today I gets lots of calls. I've a few megs of storage to store the
addresses in and then I get to have some real fun with the comments
Many "3rd class" callers have gone to auto dialing the "hide my number"
code.  This results in them not even getting the answering machine here
I just pick up and hang up and never talk
