[GreenKeys] A Little More TWX History (now mail history)

[Ralph Mowery]

Many years ago this was a good idea.  That was when we had air mail stamps
and regular mail took several days or more to get across the country.

You filled out the form at a post office, they sent it electronically to the
city of choice and it would go out the next day.
I remember as an early teen I was building model rockets.  Would send off
for kits and it would take about a month for the letter to get there and the
mail to get back.  That was around 1964.



Now email goes world wide in a few seconds .  Packages usually arrive by
Friday or sooner (some in 2 days) if ordered on the internet Monday morning.
I have even received a few items on Sunday.

I remember thinking that it was a solution looking for a problem.
