It's true. POPCORN is gone (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-lazarus29aug29,0,2466396,full.column?coll=la-home-center)

My power when out yesterday, so naturally when it eventually came back on, I tried to call P-O-P-C-O-R-N to get the current time to reset my clocks, and the speaking time voice was no more! :cry:

POPCORN was the "time of day" number all of us Northern Cali folk could call 24/7 if you needed to know the time. Her recorded voice had been there all my life. I'm sure it doesn't mean much to you non-Nor Cal's...but I'm bummed :cry:

Wow, I'm sad, we used to play with this when we were kids.

We did too. Any excuse to call her was fun. I was always fascinated by her strange voice.

Is this like when they discontinued the 976 sex numbers?

When you was a kid, that was some cool stuff.

*sniff* *sniff* miss those numbers. :(
