Not belated at all - the real New Year took place at 16:17 GMT on the fourth of January this year, when our home planet reached perihelion in its orbit around the sun, thus starting a new year!
Contrary? Moi?
Anyway, happy new year to all those on CP, whenever you celebrate it.

A happy new year to you from Israel.
I trust that you've laid in plenty of winter supplies for the hamsters (and yourself...). With the news out of China, I doubt that we've seen the end of this.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I'd never have thought of Sis for short girl - short sibling yes but that would have given it away

I know it only as a short for sister.

And "sister" is a term used by girls to describe other girls: "Sisters are doin' it for themselves[^]" for example.

From 1990 to 1995 I was teaching computer communication at a tech. college. When I started on signaling systems, I thought it would be a good idea to begin with something very familiar: The tick-tick-tick breaks when you use a traditional phone with a rotary dial.
Familiar?? I was met with a blank stare. They were two classes, each of 25-30 students. In the first class, one - 1 - of the students told that he had actually used such a phone at some occasion, long ago. In the other class, one student knew that her old aunt owned a rotary dial phone, but she had never used it. Another student had seen one. A share of the remaining 50 or so students could recall having seen that kind of phones in old movies.
Note that this was 30 years ago. Today, I guess kids will give you a similar blank stare if you refer to a telephone cable, handset or plug.
In the early 1990s, cellphones had not yet had any breakthrough, so the 1992-3 college students were familiar with landline phones of the pushbutton DTMF type, but not the rotary dials. I wonder how they would have reacted to the phone of my childhood: Rather than a dial, you had a handle to crank the generator producing power to sound a bell at your local switch, where an operator would answer and you told him/her who you wanted to talk to. That lasted to the early 70s in my home town, the early 80s in more remote parts of the country.
Last Saturday night, on New Year's eve, we terminated the very last landline phone. We were the very first country to make the transition from analog to a 100% digital phone network; I guess we are also the first to close down a cabled phone network. (We were also the first to shut off all national FM broadcasting, replacing it with digital DAB radio; that was almost six years ago.) If you insist on having a cable, you can do IP telephony over your internet connection, but that is just one way of using the internet, it cannot be described as a 'telephone network'.
