Message-ID: <283@cuuxb.UUCP> Date: Wed, 13-Nov-85 18:44:59 EST Article-I.D.: cuuxb.283 Posted: Wed Nov 13 18:44:59 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 15-Nov-85 05:28:34 EST Distribution: net Organization: AT&T-IS, Customer Support, Lisle, Il. Lines: 35 I can agree with those who say this is a very limiting media. There are no nerves in a crt keyboard. These monsters are completely devoid of any sensation. Yet, people use these wierd contraptions everyday. If a person wants to badly enough, that person will get his/her feelings across over this strange device that can't even pass on a perfume smell(8-). I doubt that your average foolish mortal would even have to resort to desparation or even have to apply all his/her mental horsepower to the task. All it really takes is a little warmth and thought and caring. I'll inject one more thought then I'll back out of here and leave you folks alone for a while. I must agree that meeting a person face to face is much better. Next best is to meet that person voice to voice on the phone. Next best would be to write a letter and send it via the postal services. The real advantage to this mess of a technological contrivance is its speed. I can send a letter clear across the country in just a few hours on this wonder(8-). It is cheaper than the telephone too. With the money I save by not calling my net.friends a lot, I can mail 'em a little surprize now and then. And the time I save by typing will provide a few minutes to shop for something and get it to UPS.(8-) And no, I don't feel too badly about running up my company's phone bill. I just "forget" to turn in some overtime now and then. Now its time to return to my local friends, perchance to share a pitcher of our favorite brew at our local "Cheers". I'll propose a toast to you folks. Al'ays proud ta hoist a jar in th' name o' me net.friends and them what lives a bit closer. Regards, That Damned Frye. Again? No, STILL!
