End of an Era: Western Union stops telegrams
Yup, you can mark this down as a "you were there at the end of an era" thing...
http://www.livescience.com/technolog...ern_union.html No more telegrams, after 145 years. It is amazing to think how fast things have moved. Next one will be SD tv broadcasts... Alex |

WU knows lots about making money. A model I hired last year worked in one of those boiler rooms where they scam American old ladies out of their savings. She said that the local WU was well aware of what they were up to, and took a substantial cut, much higher than posted rates.

I still have a telegram sent to me years ago.
Back when the dinosaurs roamed, before most people had heard of the internet. |
