I remember we called it a hook.

I remember the on-hook and off-hook commands, and I remember calling the cradle that old land lines sat on/in being called the hook. When was the tether called the hook?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being rhetorical here as a gotcha. My memory just ain’t what she used to be and I’d like to remember.

I just remembered one of the first “apps” on my android eris was a hook. It let me plug my phone into my laptop and use my mobile data on the pc. Thats all i remembered.

I remember those days! I used PdaNet because whoever I was with (AT&T? Cingular?) sold tether data like it was being brought to me by a parade of half nude sexy folks bit by bit.
