The last time I heard the word beeper it referred to a pager. You kids know what a pager was?
Yes.
Lol.
I owned one for a while.
It's how you used to buy weed.
Correct: It was the dealers best friend.
I had a pager in highschool. 🧓
It's what those ancient iPads, I think they were called b'oks had right? ;-)
Some time ago I found my old CocaCola Beeper. That time might've been 10+ years ago...
Lol.
Kinda funny how quickly those disappeared when cell phones came along.
That brought up some memories I had suppressed lol.
