Could the comment actually have been about pay telephones, which were once common in cities?
Good point Bill, which, if so, would place the comment at or about the start of the cellfone introduction. @Jim, maybe it's more a telco/2600 thing? None of my overnite greps through old saved chats/snippets came up with anything remotely like it, sadly. I tried a few gopher/archie searches but the system is in very poor shape these days, a shadow of it's early 90's usefulness. Maybe it was on Fidonet or similar? Anyone else have any input? Please ask your old folks ;) Gord
