Bates, Quickster, Multi-Use Telephone Index, Wall Mount, Removable Screws, 123 WT, White, Dashboard Mount with Tape, Permanent
Product ID: 48615676
For use as wall mountable with screws. (Removable.) Or, desktop or dashboard with double sided tape. (Permanent) Review: Great - Exactly what I was looking for just like the one my mom had when I was young. I am using it for web addresses with ID and Passwords. Review: From long ago - About thirty years ago, I bought a little plastic gizmo with cards and index. It screwed to the wall by the phone (which if you remember, phones did too), very handy, so when we moved to a new house 26 years ago (where we still are), I brought the Bates Quickster with me. As the years moved on, I used the backs of cards instead of the fronts, threw away cards as people died, scratched through names and added new contacts. The alphabetical indexes were so dogeared they were unrecognizable. At one point I finally had to glue the thing to the wall, so it is now permanently affixed. But what to do about the diminishing cards? I carried one around with me in my wallet for a couple of years, hoping to find exactly the right size or even close to the right fit for replacements. But never any luck. Finally one day it occurred to me to pull the ID card for the product and search for it on the internet. And there, behold, it was, in only one place, what appeared to be an obscure (at least to me) independent office supply place somewhere in the northeast. Though the shipping was about as much as the product, I clicked it, and a few days later, what should appear but an exact and shiny new replacement for my tired old Bates Quickster, in a box that was dusty and crumpled with surely thirty or more years of sitting on a shelf. What a treat to find this old friend. If this one lasts as long, I'll be well into my nineties. Imagine having an address companion last through more than two-thirds of your life!!!! Thanks, desertcart.
