 From David Gast in TELECOM Digest, Volume 9, Issue 325:

| Finally, speaking of advertising, I have to comment on the fact that
| PacBell had been advertising their Centrex System very heavily with
| lines like It's in their office, nothing can go wrong.  As soon as
| the strike started (actually perhaps a little earlier I don't know exactly),
| these commercials stopped.  Perhaps the strike can cause things to go
| wrong.  Not to mention major fires a la Hinsdale, etc.

The strike still in effect against Ameritech's subsidiaries hasn't slowed
Illinois Bell down from continuing their Centrex advertising campaign.  They
still tell us how we don't have to worry about maintenance or upgrades
because they keep everything tip-top and state-of-the-art.
