To prove there’s nothing new under the sun, witness the Bone Fone.
A classic white elephant of the ‘Seventies, you could usually find one in anyone’s basement next to the yogurt maker and the wood burning kit, waiting patiently for the next yard sale.

Perfect for that hot new fitness craze sweeping the nation – jogging!

Sadly, it succumbed to the yard sale, and most likely the landfill.
That’s so not minimalist!
