Watch out, kids :
Earlier, when everything was different and only some things better, you were proud to use such a wonderful and gay equipment in full gray color, which was connected to a limited string, fixed to the wall. You guessed it? It was called telephone. Until 1980, you could talk as long as you turned blue for just 23 cents. When the 8-minute-pulsing was introduced, it meant for some beings (of which at least one is known to me) the downfall of the then known Western civilization. This creature is called woman. Since then it provides an unlimited income for the telephone companies. And since the signs of the times do not go unnoticed by me, today I painted a reminiscence to that friendly little devil, the »FeTAp 611« (Fernsprech Tisch Apparat Modell 611).
