An item from the Federal Bytes column on page 38 of Federal Computer Week, March 20, 1989: NO SHOES "The cobbler's children are alive and apparently well at MCI Communications Corp. A call to its 19th St. headquarters in Washington, DC last week produced one of these messages: "All operators are busy, but if you'll stay on the line..." The message was followed by a long silence. A live operator finally appeared, rang the public relations department as requested, and another recorded message and long delay ensued. Well, it is the long-distance company, after all, and we were calling locally." ***End of item*** Speaks for itself, I guess... :-)
