For the bigger citys that have like 2 phone books to complete the phone directory for the city, Why don't they just burn these on a disk for people to use instead of passing out 2 huge whopping heavy phone books that only take up space and such?

I would think it would be cheaper for the phone company to use disk media rather than paper media.

What are your thoughts on this?

Yes I just got some phone books and they are HUGE!!!! 2 of them to complete the directories.

phone books have two purposes:

1. Saving for no reason at all; i.e. "the phonebooks are in that drawer"

2. Trying to tear in half, unsuccessfully

or you know.. you could recycle them, but thats no fun

i think not everyone knows how to use it (i really mean it!)
so it's pretty usefull these books

BTW we've got also a online phonebook!

and i think two big books are not much waste of space!

Really? not everyone knows how to use a phonebook. ain't no different than using a dictonary.

Phonebook?????

I can't ever find one lol.....I'll put it where I can remember where it is I say, then forget where that is

I like the CD idea neo, but still a lot of people don't use the computer. Of course in a few years it will be like the car, and more people will have them as not,then the whole country will be online.
