[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4889455, member: 92655"]This thread got my mind reeling. It’s funny to think of life before cell phones and the web. When I started in the construction industry..... [LIST] [*]The important people wore beepers. [*]Businesses all had receptions to answer phone calls. [*]Documents had to be mailed. Really urgent documents would go via courier. [*]I remember the first time I was asked for a fax number and I had no clue what the caller was referring to. [*]Taking donuts to meet a client was a big ice breaker. Now the ladies in the office will run you off if you come in with donuts. [*]You could gauge the success of the day by how often your office phones rang. [*]We mailed bills and wrote checks to pay for our bills. [*]We could buy drinks at lunch for our clients without worrying about a lawsuit. [/LIST] I could go on all day. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane.[/QUOTE]
