In days of old gentlemen would often having calling cards that were used to announce themsleves, or to leave their name with various establishments and people. Today, the business card is ubiquitous and fills that role. Alas, being retired, I no longer have a business card and find myself patting down my pockets for a pen and looking for a scrap of paper if I want to leave my name and number.

Which leads to my question - are calling cards still appropriate/accepted in society today? I'd appreciate hearing if anyone still uses them.
