I remember those ads, and I also remember being pissed off that sheer blithering incompetence and lack of standards kept those thing from happening for at least ten years longer than they needed to.
- MassPort finally realized if they gave away the toll transponders they could collect more tolls with fewer workers--last year! (And no, I wasn't willing to pay them an up-front fee so they could lay off workers.)
- NH DoT finally figured out high speed toll lanes on I-95 might be a moneymaker--last year!
- My company finally followed up on a sucessful video theater we had in the early 1990's, but which was allowed to die--this year!
- Let's not even talk about ebooks. I was reading them in the early zeros, but switched from a PDA to the eventually superior readers two years ago. The K3 is really the first fully acceptable screen, IMO.
It's also ironic that AT&T isn't a big player in most of those.
Curmudgeionly, (or reverse-curmudgeonly?)
