900 numbers were new at the time..i told them that my phone company was
regional..and did not accept calls out on a 900 number unless i paid
them to change my service....and i did not want to face the blue haired
ladies of the local ph. co. telling them that i wanted 900 numbers
re-installed....i'd be branded as a sex fiend...each time i came in to
pay a bill.....
A.E. bought it and gave me a 2nd number to call in on.....needless to
say...that sorta slipped out to the general public....;)

but anyway...they were dead as a company only 3 or so weeks later..so it
hardly mattered....

but i have  a theory...that blue haired old ladies really run the
world..i mean they are the only people i see in phone company offices,
or they run the voting booths at all major elections for president on
down, and they terrorize the roadways of america by driving slower then
the garden variety snail....hmmmm.....
