Once upon a time, you picked up your pen, wrote a letter to a company, put it in an envelope and posted it. A few days later it got there and they answered it. And a few more days later, their reply landed on your doormat.
There was such a leisurely pace to things and IMHO it was better.
Then some bright spark came along and said 'Hey,look. If I put your letter in this funny whirly thing and do this then your letter is there NOW. And if we wait an hour or so....maybe sooner...hey, here it comes. Lookie, lookie...their reply. Now ain't that great. No more waiting'
And so the 24/7 instantaneous, 'delivery today', 'what do you mean I won't have it tomorrow', 'why haven't you got it in stock' email, spam ridden world arrived.javascript:emoticon(':x')
Ummm.. maybe Alf's got the right idea. Perhaps I should sell me machines.javascript:emoticon(':?')
