>Barney had a three party phone line. Does anyone else remember these?
 
Sure do. We only had two lines on ours. Fortunately our next door neighbors 
were it and they were just a husband and wife - no kids so they were hardly 
ever on the phone. But when they were and you wanted to make a call it seemed 
like forever before they'd get off. You know to a kid one minute is as good as 
an hour when they want to know what time the next movie starts or if their best 
friend is available to go frog gigging. I don't know what I would have done if 
our party line neighbors had teenagers. I might have strung a line across the 
street and when they come by on their motor-cicles.....pffffffffffft.....
