Now I feel a little nervous about saying this but "back in the 80s" I used a dial up modem and compuserve to send my magazine column text via the internets... Saved me days, and reduced the errors from them re-keying my copy.It is amazing how things have changed during my working life. Back in the 80s the main method of communicating with customers was via Telex (and later Fax). I had a Commodore 64 at home at the time and managed to get a telephone interface add on for it. I seriously impressed a prospective customer when I sent him a Telex at 1am on a Saturday morning from home. He was convinced I had to be in the office at that time to send it.
Cheers
