SEMI OT END OF TELEGRAM AGE STOP

[J.C. Wren]

    Just like digital cellphones.  We all know how much it easier it is 
to hear someone in a marginal area on digital, right?  Why, rather than 
just a fade out or a burst of static, we get a burst of encoded noise, 
and a dropped call.  Yea, that's progress!
