The beeper.



Not a failure, just obsolete.

Every kid these days has a smart phone and a laptop but I remember when you could tell the swag girls from the powhitetrash by beeper ownership.

"Someone is trying to call me!"

I still use a beeper for my IT job at a hospital. It receives email!
Allot of the clinical staff use them as well.

Oh yeah I am loving this thread.
