<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 9592087, member: 29"]I could bore you to death with the history of the telegraph, telegram and telex. One of my jobs was project managing telex switches. That was in the eighties, although I’d sent my first email in 1979. I can still read ITA2 paper tape if I’m pushed and I can code iata headers too. It was superbly reliable. I once stood in. City switch room when someone managed to shove a digger through the main bearer cable. Every damn light on the boards went out except for one quarter speed private telex circuit![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
