Ray had an answering machine all to himself in college in the early 80's?

This makes no sense. Ray said it all happened twenty years earlier, which put the incident the Karen breakup in the very early 80's. From all indications Ray always lived at home. Even if he did live in the dorm, he most likely had at least one roommate. So why did he an answering machine to himself. I lived in a dorm in the early eighties and shared a wall rotary phone with roommates. All that aside, answering machines did not become common and affordable until at least 1985. I realize this is fiction, but the writers didn't think this one through. 🤔

Goofs
Debra would not be able to record her message as the tabs on the tape were popped out. Actually, Debra is not trying to record her message on Ray's breakup tape that has the popped tabs, because Ray's tape is still in the shoe box. She recorded the message on another the tape that was in the cassette player.

Quotes
Debra Barone: This is from Chad.
Ray Barone: Chad.
Debra Barone: "Debra's eyes." "Brown as earth, Giveth life to tree and brush. Speckled green, like the breast of a thrush. Yellow ringed as the sun on a web. So many colors in thine eye, My Deb."
Ray Barone: [laughing] Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Whoo-hoo! Ohhh, man! That's the poem?
Debra Barone: Don't make fun of it!
Ray Barone: I don't have to. Read it again.
Debra Barone: It happens to be very romantic!
Ray Barone: Yeah, yeah. Read it again.
Debra Barone: No! You don't appreciate it. For your information, he wrote this in the 10th grade, and he ended up going to Yale.
Ray Barone: Not on a poetry scholarship.
Debra Barone: Well, I don't see you writing me any poems!
Ray Barone: I can't now. Chad killed poetry.
