<li>Are directories a thing anywhere anymore? I haven't seen a
new one in probably 15 years. I understand that I'm not the
target demographic, but I'm not even sure where I'd go
(short of Googling) to get one. Are we paying for something
that has no benefit anymore?</li>

<p>My employer has published a phone book every year for many
decades. It's fun to look through old ones to find your childhood
phone number, relatives, businesses that used to exist, etc.
Every year they put a few pictures of employees around the book,
which is fun for us. Well, unless a full color photo of you doing
"work" in a CO is featured on the back cover. I've heard talk
that the last one they published, might be the last. Or maybe it
won't be <i>every</i> year any more.</p>
<p>I use mine at least weekly. But I'm also referencing information
other than phone numbers. For example, we have a few pages
discussing our * codes, with a handy table.<br>
