Way back in 1990, I was working at Martin Marietta corporation when the

guy in the cubicle next to me got a phone call from someone across town,

started printing out. Not for me, but for yet another person who worked

on the same floor. It was a crystalline, future-shocky moment, because

computer networks were still in diapers at the time, and I did not know

they could do that.
