I was at a work colleagues funeral yesterday. He was one of the unsung pioneers who made 'email' actually work.

A friend at works granny prints out her email then replies in writing and sending it through the post. She also tried to print out a you tube video

I'd heard about Peter Sarstead.....But not Graham Taylor.
Shame.....Seemed like a very nice chap.

I had a works client who refused to use email. All her correspondence was done by typed letters (kept a secretary quite busy) and any communications that could not be done face-to-face was done by telephone.

She was ex-Army and the school breathed a sigh of relief (so did the secretary) when she finally retired. She took up flying helicopters as a hobby thereafter.

Helicopters with all-mechanical linkages no doubt.

I suppose you could argue he got a few 'extra' years (decades) for losing the toss of a coin, all those years ago.

Still a shame, though.

Wierdly I had this going round my head for a day, then I found out he'd died. Freaky. Must have slipped in subliminally somewhere...
