- goeatsmsht, on 10/10/2007, -0/+67Ah the good ol' days...... When you could smoke at your desk (notice the ashtray) and receive "Electronic Mail" without a computer at your desk.....
- acu8509, on 10/15/2007, -0/+48in the future, there will be screens as big as windows, cars will be able to talk to you when they need repairs, phones that you can use without being attached to a wall, and lastly, a giant collection of multimedia devices that let you access pictures of funny cats as well as women exposing their ankles! I cannot wait for the future!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+43Email is what is going to turn the Post Office into a package delivery service. future P.O. downsize is coming. :-)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27Good thing that idea never took off!
- brusty, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26oldie but a goodie
- dunezone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21I didn't know electronic mail was powered by magic. You see, you learn something new everyday.
- Calculon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Whats original about stories on Digg? They ALL come from somewhere else.. its not like there's Digg reporters filing stories 'round the clock.
- davidrools, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Why doesn't Mr. Reeves have an email address listed? I'd like to give him a call and see if he can outfit my office with those machines.
- sockpuppets, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10A letter from Theodore Kaczynski arrives.
- KrayzieKyd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Boring, this gets dugg once a month. *****... I mean, buried for duplicate and lame.
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9mankind peaked at goatse. It's all downhill now.
- demodawid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10It's a goodie BECAUSE it's an oldie.
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9That happens to me everytime I get new email.
- Lenny, on 10/10/2007, -7/+15I could've sworn I saw this on digg a couple of months ago.
- sockpuppets, on 10/15/2007, -0/+8should "anal retentive" have a hyphen in it?
- Calculon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8It's like a silent phone call
- jbeat07, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Been on the front page before, buried as a duplicate.
- Loyaleagle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7i like it because it asks you to call or write.....no email address there!
- OpalFist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7you are correct I saw this one on digg recently as well
- Arramol, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Digg, heck. I see users react like this every day working as tech support at my college.
- davidrools, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I can see why he insists that they put "Mr."
- MadScientist440, on 10/15/2007, -0/+5does "touche" require an accent mark?
- InstantRamen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6and me to
- RockinRoel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4If you're not using e-mail yet, you can't send them an e-mail. It's pretty logical.
- smurf22, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Caption for the pic-
Jesus Christ it was a trap! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I've seen this before but it's still funny and impressive. Today we'd say "oh it's just Photoshop", but this was years before Photoshop.
- fearlessfx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Clearly an illustration of the moment when Ted Stevens discovers that the internet actually doesn't travel in tubes.
- RockinRoel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Downsize, why? With all those people buying stuff from the internet, all they have to do is change their priorities.
- WebWorker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Well, they still have the job of delivering all that bulk mail from the grocery stores... If only there was an easy way to turn that off.. think of the trees and gas!
- colonels1020, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I still have this saved on my computer from the last time it was on Digg.
- HerrEisenheim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2That's how it works alright.
- xerus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Repost day already, Digg? Oh right-- everyday is repost day....
- HanSolo69, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I really need a Flickr account so I can go through Digg and take all the pictures that someone else posted last month and submit them again!
- RockinRoel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Exactly, e-mail is discreet, that is a huge quality.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+185.2% of statistics are...***** it, I'm gonna go have a sandwich.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh yeah? I want ten examples from the past hour. Go.
- greevar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nope, 100% natural male here.
- somody, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Why do all old ads have the same font?
- VigaDSon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You you can't wait till last week?
- CLShortFuse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't know about you guys, but the only Honeywell products I use are thermostats.
I guess that has to do with why the whole "electronic email" thing never took off. - picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1actually about 75% of stories are on Digg more than once simultaneously, about 45% of stories repeat themselves over and over again and a full 10% are always on or near the front page
- StealthTomato, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nope, nope, nope. He's right.
Besides, your premise is all wrong; I'm WAY more computer-savvy than the average person; how many "average people" are currently optimizing their RAM overclock while posting on Digg? - theforrester, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The text says:
Electronic Mail is a term that's been bandied about data processing circles for years.
Simply out, it means high-speed information transportation. One of the most advanced methods is terminals talking to one another.
Your mailbox is the terminal on your desk. Punch a key and today's correspondence and messages are displayed instantly.
Need to notify people immediately of a fast-breaking development? Have your messages delivered to their terminal mailboxes electronically, across the hall or around the world.
Electronic Mail is document distribution that's more timely, accurate and flexible than traditional methods.
There's no mountain of paperwork.
Administrative personnel are more effective.
Managers have access to more up-to-date information. Decision-making is easier.
Tomorrow's automated office will clearly include Electronic Mail. But like the rest of the Office of the Future, it's available at Honeywell today.
For more information, call Laurie Reeves at (800)225-3222/3 (within the 617 area, call 552-2048). Or write him at Honeywell Office Automation Systems, Three Newton Executive Park Drive, Newton Lower falls, Massachusetts 02162.

- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ah.. yeah I thought you were trying to claim that "everyday" wasn't a word. my mistake. But really, there was no need to scrutinize his comment that much.
