I’d look for at least 5 [pay phones] and 8 or 10 was a better bet. I’d take my laptop and a folding camp chair and start at one end and work my way down the bank of pay phones until I found one that could connect at 9600 baud or better (14.4 was rarely possible, and 28.8 was a challenge) and hold the connection long enough to upload/download etc.

The unconscious squirrels away memories we didn’t know we’d gathered and don’t know are there, and releases them, sometimes in a transfigured form, into the conscious mind at unpredictable moments. They might just pop up randomly, like files ready for deletion, never be seen again, but sometimes they combine with other thoughts or experiences we’re having to produce a fresh insight or new idea. The richer and more varied our store of unconscious memories, the more of these combinations are generated, the more creative and insightful we’re likely to be.
