I was working at Bell Communications in Fort Worth, Texas when they were announced. Bob bought one around 1980 (I think) and we used it in the install shop, seems they were pretty tough and the install Monkeys did not have the slugs to drop. I still prefer a 43, like I said before I think I have 5 or is it 7, getting old and can't remember......

B1rd is pronounced B one R D! The B1rd is still one of the most important tools today. I don't think Telewave was even around back then (40+ years ago). Will Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
