MY wife, who has a Kindle, suggested that I download "The History of the Telephone" by Herbert Newton Casson. I did and it is a very intersting read. Mr Casson makes numerous predictions about the future of the telephone industry as well as provides the history of how the telephone and AT&T came to be. There are two things that really make this book worth reading: 1. It is a free download from Amazon.com's Kindle Store. 2. It was written in 1910. Parts of it are laugh out loud. www.myrandomviews "Old phone guys never die, they just get locked in some closet with an old phone system and forgotten about" Retired, taking photographs and hoping to fly one of my many kites.
