Back in '79 (until maybe '83? and before the internet), NY and SF had these hydraulic Interlift access points around town. You'd go up there with a floppy, transfer your LMail, then go back to your Wang Office workstation or whatever you had at the office. I had a summer job checking the floppies before they were walked over to the Interlift ... making sure everything was properly formatted, etc ... The big thing was sending an LMail and having it show up on someone's Telex 45 minutes later. I saw this rusting hulk at a tech flea market last weekend.
