I'm an old-timer

Oh my gosh, I feel OLD. After constantly misplacing our cordless phones (have four of them and never know where they are at) we bought a new system and one of them has a cord phone to the answering machine so we can find at least ONE phone. 

Madi picked it up and said "Wow, when you answer that phone on the answer maching, the person is on there immediately. 

You don't have to do anything?" LOL
