[QUOTE]Originally posted by navybanker: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [qb] About a week before I finished graduate school I was chatting with an undergraduate student on the bus and she mentioned this new thing she had learned about in the computer lab.... She said "It's called email and I think it might really catch on....." That was the first I had ever heard of email and sites such as this were beyond my imagination at that point.... And that was not that long ago..... not quite 17 years actually. There have been so many changes since. Lot's of changes just since I discovered RailForum 7 years ago this month. [/qb][/QUOTE]In 1982 Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company in New York introduced "Comet" - utilizing Local Area Networks to link the basic computer terminals on our desks which had been previously only used to access computerized avvount records - it was cumbersome to access, but it was possible to enter messages addressed to other in-bank users -- I hated it, was convinced it would never take off, and only very reluctantly started using it --- it's been downhill ever since.
