Actually they arrived maybe a week ago on my block. (Shocker: They are still sitting in front of my building, unopened.) But I noticed a few hundred thousand of them were waiting on stoops this morning along East Seventh Street...
Seriously — will anyone actually use one? (And not to, say, prop up a table, build a bookshelf or burn.)
It's OK if you do use one — just curious.
Early reaction...
@evgrieve Wasteful! When I need a phone number I just log on to AOL with my 2400 baud modem.
