>I wuz going through my previous subscriptions to Fine WoodWorking magazine & noticed that this issue apparently was the 1st issue to have 2 unique ads. One had an e-mail address; the other, a web page address.

Now it�s unusual not to see either, along w/ a FAX number.

Seems to me that it �was only yesterday� that a company w/ an 800 telephone number and accepted MasterCard was the cat�s meow for ordering.

>I got my first real email address in 1992. It seems crazy but 15 years later, I can't imagine what we used to do without these things.

>I get a kick of leafing through pre-1995 magazines.. No web sites mentioned.. It just seems weird because I look for the web address right away nowadays.
