"The telephone, for those of you who have forgotten, was a commonly used communications technology in the days before electronic mail. They're still easy to find in most large cities." -- Nathaniel Borenstein
i'm guessing this is before the mobile phone explosion.
Good old one. It's funny how we circle around with technology, folks are dumping their phone land lines and adopting wireless/mobile that required a substantial technology leap and investment and now we are using the mobile phone to "text" an incompressible dialect worse than the early teletype/telex days but with a humongous infrastructure to support it. Ohh yeah, now we can send sort of a telegram with multiple fonts and colors almost from anywhere... Cheers Jorge
