[Slightly OT] Whats Your Number, Cucumber?

I was doing some "research" (Google search for "Allen Baranov") and found a little nugget back from 2001 when I asked how long until phone numbers become redundant.

I think I was a bit ahead of my time - we are still waiting for a DNS for telephone numbers after all.

But seriously, how many telephone numbers did you used to know? And how many do you know now? From someone with a short-term memory of a Goldfish, thank you Cellphones!

Now... when can I register "allen.baranov.cell.phone.mtn.za"? I've been waiting 10 years!
